“Liverpool make a double substitution, bringing on Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo in search of a breakthrough as frustration grows at the lack of a goal.”
“Kenny Tete picks up a yellow card for a foul as Fulham's defensive resolve is tested in the closing stages.”

Outstanding performance
Liverpool•DefenderLiverpool controlled the game from start to finish, dominating possession at 56% and completing nearly 100 more passes than Fulham, but couldn't translate that pressure into goals despite carving out four big chances. Fulham, content to sit deep and absorb pressure, made just 10 shots but were clinical enough defensively to frustrate the hosts, with Kenny Tete and the backline standing firm throughout. Liverpool's bench moves from the 60th minute onward - bringing on Mac Allister, Gakpo, Frimpong and Ngumoha - signaled Arne Slot's growing urgency to find a breakthrough, but the final ball kept letting them down. For Liverpool, sitting top of the table, this stalemate is a missed opportunity to extend their advantage in the title race, while Fulham will take real satisfaction from a hard-earned point away at the league leaders.
