Liverpool fell into a trap of a 2-2 draw with its guest Fulham, in the match of the sixteenth round of the English Premier League.
The start of the match at Anfield Stadium was exciting after Andreas Pereira scored the first goal for the guests in the 11th minute.
Liverpool’s troubles increased a lot when Andrew Robertson received a red card in the 17th minute, so Arne Slot’s battalion completed the match with ten players.
However, the Reds managed to return and equalize in the 47th minute through Cody Gakpo, but Fulham again took the lead through Rodrigo Muniz in the 76th minute.
At the end of the match, Liverpool equalized in the 86th minute through Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz almost gave Liverpool the three points in more than one shot, but he wasted opportunities that were certain.
With this draw, Liverpool reached 36 points at the top of the Premier League, but it gives Chelsea the opportunity to get very close to Mohamed Salah’s teammates.
Chelsea have 31 points, occupying second place before this round’s match against Brentford on Sunday.
If the Blues succeed in achieving victory, they will reach 34 points, two points behind Liverpool, noting that the Reds have a postponed match against Everton.
Fortunately for Liverpool, Arsenal, who were playing at the same time with Everton, were satisfied with a goalless draw, leaving their tally at only 30 points in third place.
