Earthquake in Premier League

On the night of April 6, Liverpool lost 2-3 to Fulham in round 31 of the Premier League, ending their London rival's 14-year unbeaten streak at home.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham did something that had never happened in the past 5 years, which was to score 3 goals against Liverpool in the first half. According to Opta , this was also the first time in the Premier League era that "The Kop" conceded 3 goals in the first half, after scoring the opening goal.

Liverpool started impressively with Alexis Mac Allister scoring from long range. However, they suddenly lost focus. Curtis Jones and Andy Robertson made defensive mistakes, allowing Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi to score in the 23rd and 32nd minutes, helping the home team to take a 2-1 lead.

In the 37th minute, it was Virgil Van Dijk's turn to make a bad judgment, creating an opportunity for Rodrigo Muniz to penetrate the penalty area, before shooting past Caoimhin Kelleher for the third time.

In the second half, the away team went all out on the attack and created 11 chances. However, only Luis Diaz took advantage to score.

Mohamed Salah has yet to regain his form and continues to have a lackluster performance. The Egyptian star has gone 4 consecutive matches without scoring.

The match ended 3-2 in Fulham's favour. The London side beat Liverpool at home for the first time in 14 years.

However, this result does not affect the championship race much, as the gap between the "Red Brigade" and Arsenal is still 11 points. Liverpool can even become the champion right at Emirates Stadium in round 36.
