Late Drama, Late Equaliser: Liverpool’s Away Day Ends in a Dramatic Fulham Draw
4 January 2026
Match Report
Dutch coach Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, voiced his disappointment after a draw with Fulham in the Premier League.
Fulham struck twice through Harry Wilson and Harrison Reed in the 17th and 90+7th minutes.
Liverpool answered with goals from Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo in the 57th and 90+5th minutes.
Slot told Sky Sports after the match that scoring twice away from home should normally be enough to win, but a superb strike snatched a point.
We brought Joe Gomez on after the second goal, but we failed to make the extra body in defense count and a quick equaliser followed.
There were several chances in the first half, including a similar one for Cody Gakpo from which they scored.
In an ideal scenario, Liverpool would be dominant and create more chances, and the shot struck the woodwork again, but it still wasn't enough.
He also said the players are giving their all, Isak is injured, and he must rely more on Hugo Ekitike, a player who had yet to play in the Premier League, and manage this situation with 11 excellent players on the pitch.
The result left Liverpool fourth with 34 points and Fulham eleventh with 28.
Anyway, if football were a sniper game, the only thing hitting the target tonight was optimism.
Second punchline: Liverpool's strategy? Aim for the corners, because somewhere the fans' hope is a higher velocity.
