Earthquake in the Premier League

On the night of April 6th, Liverpool lost 2-3 to Fulham in the 31st round of the Premier League, thus ending their London rivals' 14-year unbeaten run at home.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham achieved something unprecedented in the past five years: scoring three 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 three goals in the first half after taking the lead.

Liverpool started impressively with Alexis Mac Allister's long-range shot finding the back of the net. However, they unexpectedly lost focus. Curtis Jones and Andy Robertson successively made defensive errors, allowing Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi to score in the 23rd and 32nd minutes respectively, giving the home side a 2-1 lead.

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

Fulham are in excellent form at home.

In the second half, the visiting team launched a full-scale attack and created 11 chances. However, only Luis Diaz managed to convert one into a goal.

Mohamed Salah is still struggling to regain his form and continued to have a lackluster performance. The Egyptian star has gone four consecutive games without scoring.

The match ended with a 3-2 victory for Fulham. The London team secured their first home win against Liverpool in 14 years.

However, this result doesn't significantly affect the title race, as the gap between the "Reds" and Arsenal remains 11 points. In fact, Liverpool could even become champions at the Emirates Stadium in round 36.
