Fulham-Liverpool 2-2, goals from Mitrovic, Salah and Nunez

Surprise at Craven Cottage. Liverpool, fresh from the Community Shield victory a week ago, must sweat to equalize their Premier League debut at the newly promoted Fulham. The Reds go under twice, hit by Aleksandar Mitrovic’s brace, 43 goals last year in the Championship but 5 on average in the Premier League in the previous 5 seasons. To save Klopp’s team from a sensational defeat is the euphoria of Darwin Nunez, the best of Liverpool, scoring 13 ‘after entering the field and author of the assist for Salah’s final equal in the 80’. The euphoria for last Saturday’s 3-1 over City seems to have already passed for Liverpool, who dance in defense and fail to materialize in attack. For Klopp there is also the damage: Thiago gives up after 51 ‘for a muscle problem in his left thigh, the extent of which will be evaluated in the coming days with a point thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Momo Salah. Mitrovic’s brace is not enough for the hosts.

Nunez equalized with his magic in the 64th minute, but Fulham moved forward in the 72nd minute, with Mitrovic converting a penalty that he himself had obtained. Liverpool do not sink and find the equal to 80 ‘, with Salah who collects an assist from Nunez in the area. At 95 ‘Henderson’s sensational cross with a right from outside, but the result does not change.
