Premier League Liverpool vs Fulham
Liverpool missed the chance to go 14 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League as they lost 3-2 to Fulham.
Liverpool’s train might have just come off the track in the last stretch to the Premier league title race. The Reds have had an amazing season till March, where they have lost 3 matches out of 4 that they have played.
Liverpool has been at the top of the table in the Premier League from the start
Liverpool has been at the top of the table in the Premier League from the start and have continued to run away with the title with nobody coming close but the recent form has suggested that Arne Slot’s men are facing a crisis for the first time this season.
While it might be too late for Liverpool giving away the lead at the top, no other team has also looked to capitalise on this downfall. Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, 2nd and 3rd respectively on the table have also lost matches in this final stretch for the title.
This match showed that Fulham had the character to go from being one goal down and then strike 3 goals in 12 minutes and then go on to win against the 1st seeded team on the table who had lost only 1 game in the entire PL campaign before this loss at the Craven Cottage.

Luis Diaz pulled one back for the visitors in the 72nd minute, stabbing into the bottom corner from fellow substitute Conor Bradley’s pass, but Liverpool were unable to force an equaliser.
It was another substitute, Harvey Elliott, who came closest to drawing the league leaders level but his curling effort bounced back off the bar.
