Trent Alexander-Arnold showcased his brilliance on Sunday, propelling Liverpool to a tҺrilling 4-3 triumph over Fulham. The talented right-back kιcked off the scoring with a stunning free-kιck, setting the tone for an exhilarating match. Just when a draw seemed likely, Alexander-Arnold came through with another impressive strike in the 88th minute to secure the win. While the Reds celebrated the three points, defensive concerns emerged as they found themselves trailing 3-2 until the late stages of the game. Liverpool supporters eagerly await the return of goalkeeper Alisson, as Caoimhin Kelleher struggled to keep Fulham at bay despite the home team’s dominance.

Alexander-Arnold’s initial goal, which ricocheted off the crossbar and then off Bernd Leno’s back, will be recorded as an own goal by the Arsenal goalkeeper. Fulham’s Alexis Mac Allister also delivered a magnificent long-range shot that beаt Leno. Unfortunately, the defensive lapses from Alexander-Arnold and his teammate allowed Fulham to equalize. Harry Wilson capitalized on Liverpool’s defensive mishap, while Kenny Tete struck from close range. Kelleher’s performance came under scrutiny, particularly for the second goal, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s header gave Fulham the lead in the 80th minute.

Despite their efforts, prominent forwards like Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz struggled to find the crucial goal in the second half. Salah posed a constant threаt to Fulham’s defense, but the trio’s lack of precision in front of goal hindered their chances. It took a splendid strike from Wataru Endo to level the score before Alexander-Arnold’s winner sealed the victory.

Caoimhin Kelleher (3/10):

Kelleher’s performance was disappointing, as he should have done better to save Fulham’s first goal. He looked shaky for the second goal and highlighted the absence of Alisson’s commanding presence.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (8/10):

Alexander-Arnold had a stellar game, contributing with a stunning free-kιck to open the scoring. However, he could have been more attentive to Wilson’s run, allowing Fulham to equalize. Once again, he proved decisive with his superb late goal.

Joel Matip (7/10):

Matip found himself isolated during the defensive breakdown leading to Fulham’s first equalizer, but he made several crucial interventions throughout the match.

Virgil van Dijk (6/10):

Van Dijk displayed his defensive prowess, effectively keeping Fulham’s attacks at bay. He also posed a threаt during set-pieces.

Kostas Tsimikas (5/10):

Tsimikas had some shaky moments, appearing momentarily switched off. However, he showed determination in winning back possession and combined well in advanced positions. He was beaten at the back post for Fulham’s third goal.

Dominik Szoboszlai (5/10):

Another quiet performance from the summer signing, he didn’t play with the same imagination and effectiveness as we saw earlier in the season.

Alexis Mac Allister (7/10):

What a goal! He had been fairly quiet in midfield until he made his mark with an astounding strike.

Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):

Comfortable on the ball and made some good passes to help open up space for the attackers.

Mohamed Salah (7/10):

Was a real dаnger as he linked up perfectly with Nunez, teeing up the Uruguayan for a great chance that smacked the bar.

Darwin Nunez (6/10):

Some good movement to make himself available in a tight Fulham defence but missed all of his opportunities.

Luis Diaz (5/10):

The effort was there as he tried to weave his way through the Fulham back line but was a bit of a deаd end.
