Minute-by-minute report: The newly-promoted Cottagers face a daunting opening task. Join Barry Glendenning for all the action
“We did exactly what we wanted to do,” says Fulham’s captain in an interview with BT Sport. “We want to make it tough for teams to come here. We knew that if we could be aggressive and take the game to them they would find it difficult.
“Whether they were prepared for that or not, that’s on them but we knew what our gmae plan was and we did it pretty much perfectly. It’s a huge boost of confidence for us but it sets the bar for where we need to be for every match.”Liverpool’s play was flat and riddled with uncharacteristic errors in all areas of the pitch and they had to come from behind twice to rescue a point from this game., leaping above a static Trent Alexander-Arnold at the far post to nod home Kenny Tete’s cross.
Having provided the assist for Liverpool’s first, Mo Salah scored their second, poking into a gaping goal from six yards out after a mix-up in communication between Fulham’s centre-backs. Both sides hit the woodwork during a game from which Liverpool escaped with a point despite playing quite badly. We’ll get to hear what Jurgen Klopp made of his side’s sloppiness in a few minutes.
