Liverpool salvaged a dramatic 2-2 draw against Fulham at Anfield on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League 2024-25, despite playing most of the match with ten men following Andy Robertson’s early dismissal. The returning Diogo Jota became the hero of the night, scoring a late equaliser to secure a point for the Reds.
Fulham struck first in the 11th minute when Antonee Robinson’s cross found Andreas Pereira, whose effort deflected off Robertson into the net. Liverpool’s situation worsened just six minutes later as Robertson was shown a red card for a foul on Harry Wilson. Despite a VAR review, the referee upheld the decision, ruling it as a denial of a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
Despite being a man down, Liverpool equalised shortly after halftime when Cody Gakpo headed home a brilliant cross from Mohamed Salah. Fulham, however, regained their lead in the 76th minute, with Rodrigo Muniz converting a close-range effort after a well-timed cutback from Robinson.
Liverpool pressed relentlessly in the final minutes, and their determination paid off. Darwin Nunez set up Jota, who skillfully sidestepped Fulham defender Jorge Cuenca and fired a precise shot into the net, marking his return from injury with a crucial goal.
The result highlights Liverpool’s resilience under pressure and ensures they remain competitive in a tightly contested Premier League season.
