Mohamed Salah Saves Liverpool with a Crucial Goal Against Fulham
Liverpool managed to salvage a valuable 2-2 draw against Fulham at Anfield, thanks to a crucial intervention from Mohamed Salah, who assisted in Cody Gakpo’s goal and played a key role in the final equalizer. Despite playing with ten men for over 70 minutes following Andy Robertson’s red card, Jürgen Klopp’s men showed great resilience and effort.
Fulham, having a strong season so far, made it clear from the start that they would be a tough opponent. In the 9th minute, Andreas Pereira scored a stunning goal that put the visitors ahead after a perfect collective play. The situation worsened for Liverpool when Robertson was sent off for bringing down Harry Wilson as the last defender, leaving his team with ten players.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Liverpool responded after the break. A brilliant header from Cody Gakpo, assisted by Mohamed Salah, leveled the score. The goal energized the players and the Anfield crowd, who pushed the team in search of a victory. However, Fulham quickly regained the lead after a rapid counterattack finished off by Rodrigo Muniz, leaving the hosts trailing once again.
Salah becomes the hero in the most critical moment
With time running out and victory almost out of reach, Mohamed Salah stepped up once again. Just five minutes before the end, the Egyptian was pivotal in the play that led to the equalizer, passing the ball to Diogo Jota who leveled the score. Although Fulham almost won in injury time, a crucial intervention from Antonee Robinson, who saved the potential winner for the visitors, prevented the three points from heading to London.
The draw, although a valuable point in the title race, leaves Liverpool with a bittersweet feeling. Robertson’s red card and the frustration of not securing a home win weigh heavily, but the team’s ability to endure with ten men for over 70 minutes and salvage a point thanks to Salah's brilliance reaffirms their competitive spirit.
