It took a lot of effort, but it resulted in the crowds at Anfield growing even larger. Here, Liverpool turned a 2-3 defeat against Fulham into a 4-3 victory in the final stages.
The Reds took advantage of the defeat against Aston Villa to move up to second place in the Premier League for now.
Manchester City, which will face Tottenham Hotspur later today, can surpass Liverpool in the rankings if they win.
For a long time it was thought that Liverpool would drop points against Fulham with Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk in the starting line-up and Cody Gakpo on the bench. With Keny Tete’s goal, the Londoners equalized twice and took the lead at the break, contrary to expectations.
After Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister’s magnificent goals in the first half, Liverpool had difficulty scoring after half-time. Wataru Endo’s last 3-3 already felt like salvation. It was a real party at Anfield Road when Alexander-Arnold made it 4-3.
Chelsea beat Brighton
Despite Conor Gallagher’s red card, Chelsea beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-2. Captain Gallagher received his second yellow card just before half-time, before Brighton equalised. The guests left the dressing room in a good mood, with Joel Veltman and Jan Paul van Hecke in the starting line-up for ninety minutes.
But after the break, Enzo Fernandez took the lead with his second goal of the afternoon and Chelsea scored the winner from the penalty spot. Brighton could not go beyond 3-2 despite extra time.
