Transcript

00:00Full time here at Anfield, it's all quiet now but an enthralling encounter took place.

00:072-2 draw Liverpool earned against Fulham, they'll be disappointed with these dropped points

00:12but given what went against them they'd probably be happy with a share of the spoils.

00:16Certainly when Liverpool went down to 10 men a lot of fans were taking a point

00:20because at that point Liverpool were already a goal behind

00:23when Andreas Pereira opened the scoring for Fulham in the 11th minute

00:27a good cross from the left from Andy Robertson

00:30and there was Pereira to take home with the back post on the stretch.

00:35I got word for Liverpool 6 minutes later, Andy Robertson giving us marching orders

00:40poor touch allowed, former Liverpool forwards Harry Wilson in

00:45Andy Robertson fells Wilson, he was adjudged to have been the last man

00:49and denying a goal scoring opportunity

00:52giving us marching orders and a straight red card

00:55and VAR agreed, checked that Wilson wasn't offside and he wasn't

00:59you have to say it was a deserved red card

01:02Fulham had a couple of opportunities but Liverpool battled back really well

01:06in the end of the first half on top there was Diaz having an effort over the bar

01:10and second half they came out well and within three minutes they were back level

01:16Kobe Gakpo with a really good diving header

01:21Mo Salah picking him out of the back post

01:23and a brave header as well from Gakpo to level up

01:26and from there Liverpool were the better team

01:29they didn't give Fulham a lot of chances despite being down to 10 men

01:34but Fulham with the only real chance they created after that

01:37managed to go ahead again from Rodrigo Munoz

01:42again that Anthony Robinson was rampant down the left flank

01:46he got to the byline and cut the ball across

01:48Munoz got there first, Joe Gomez got something on him

01:51it was unlucky really from Gomez but the ball deflected into net

01:54but Liverpool battled again and Diogo Jota

01:58making his first appearance in almost two months after a rib injury

02:01came off the bench and did what he does best

02:04getting a chance and taking it, a fantastic finish

02:07picked out by fellow substitute Darwin Nunes

02:10got his head up, gave Fulham keeper Birdland all the eyes

02:15and finished and Liverpool finished on top

02:18Jota had another chance when the ball was scrambling around

02:21maybe the shot should have been taken earlier by someone else

02:24but his effort was deflected over and when the full time whistle went

02:28Liverpool were probably a little bit disappointed

02:31that they only managed to salvage a draw

02:34but on the balance I think it was probably a fair result you would say

02:38and Arnaslott was really delighted with his size performance

02:42he actually was given a third yellow card of the season

02:45but good news for Liverpool is that Andy Robertson and Arnaslott

02:48won't be banned in the Premier League

02:51Robertson's ban and Arnaslott's touchline ban

02:54will be invoked for the Carabao Cup quarter-final

02:59against Southampton on Wednesday

03:01which is a big boost for Liverpool

03:04instead of the game against Tottenham

03:07Liverpool will be disappointed to have dropped points in the title race

03:10luckily Arsenal were held by Everton

03:13so Everton doing Liverpool a little bit of a favour there on the roads

03:17Chelsea have got Brenfords, the gap could be reduced

03:20circumstances, probably a decent point for Liverpool

03:24especially when Robertson was sent off

03:27they need to definitely take the points at that point

03:29There's Liverpool 2 Fulham 2
