On the evening of April 1st (Vietnam time), Liverpool faced a challenging away match at Fulham as part of the 20th round of the 2025/26 Premier League. Despite taking the lead twice, Arne Slot’s squad had to settle for a dramatic 2-2 draw, with the thrilling outcome decided in the final moments of added time.

Right from kickoff, Fulham started confidently, employing short ball control and proactive mid-level pressing.

The goal was confirmed after VAR ruled out any offside.

Liverpool quickly pushed forward to seek an equalizer. For the remainder of the first half, the visitors dominated possession and created numerous dangerous chances.

The following minutes saw intense pressure from the visitors. In the 90+4th minute, Jeremie Frimpong delivered a perfect cross for Cody Gakpo to finish close range, seemingly securing a dramatic win for Liverpool. However, just two minutes later, Harrison Reed ignited Craven Cottage with a thunderous long-range strike from outside the box, sealing the 2-2 draw.

With the single point gained, Liverpool remains in the top 4 with 34 points but has seen the gap widen with the chasing pack above. Meanwhile, Fulham can be proud of their brave performance against a strong opponent, especially their fighting spirit until the very end.
