Liverpool v Fulham player ratings: Alexander-Arnold 8, Kelleher 5; Wilson 7, Jimenez 5

Liverpool edge 4-3 thriller at Anfield thanks to two goals in final minutes

Caoimhin Kelleher 5/10

LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Rare league start due to Alisson Becker’s injury and would have been frustrated that Wilson’s finish went through his legs for first goal. Footwork and body position all wrong for Fulham’s second. AFPShow less

Trent Alexander-Arnold 8/10

Grabbed late leveller to silence Man City fans last week, and opened scoring here with superb curling free-kick into top corner after 20 minutes, although ruled as own goal after ball hit Leno’s back before crossing line. Had Anfield shaking with late winner after two goals in a minute from Reds. EPAShow less

Joel Matip 7/10

Poor ball out from back trying to find Salah started move that led to Fulham levelling four minutes after Liverpool opened scoring in first half. Solid game from Cameroonian. Limped off pitch with 20 minutes to go with manager Klopp saying afterwards injury "doesn't look good". PAShow less

Virgil van Dyck 7/10

Saw shot that would have put Liverpool 2-1 up in opening half well blocked by Fulham. Usual dominant self at the back for Liverpool and given little trouble by lone striker Jimenez. PA

Kostas Tsimikas 5/10

Hit and miss with his crosses from left. Weakly outjumped by De Cordova-Reid for Fulham’s third, which might have proven costly if not for stunning late turnaround. Claimed assist for winner. AFP

Dominic Szoboszlai 7/10

Started game in scintillating fashion with his silky skills drawing the foul that led to free-kick that Alexander-Arnold curled home in style - via back of Leno. Had two shots just after half-time, one drilled wide, one saved by Leno. Less impact as game went on. AFPShow less

Alex Mac Allister 8/10

Outstanding first-time strike from distance into top corner to put Liverpool back in front, scoring his first goal for club in sensational fashion. AFP

Ryan Gravenberch 6/10

Dutch midfielder had quiet game, neat and tidy but without any big moments. Probably surprise he stayed on pitch until 83rd minute when score was 3-2 to Fulham. EPA

Mohamed Salah 8/10

Had ball in net early on after Leno spill but denied by offside flag. Had volley saved by leg of Leno in ninth minute of first-half injury-time. Teed up chance for Nunez that saw Uruguayan hit woodwork. Missed chance to score 200th for club when blazed over but then set up Endo’s goal. EPAShow less

Darwin Nunez 6/10

Could have been booked on a couple of occasions for diving in first half when he offered little attacking threat. Rattled crossbar with thunderous strike after break but should have scored. Fluffed another great chance when miss-kicked after being set up by Salah header. APShow less

Luis Diaz 6/10

Had game's first attempt at goal in third minute when he turned sharply but fired effort too close to keeper who saved comfortably. Hit couple of tame efforts straight at Leno in second half as well as one header wide of target. AFPShow less

Cody Gakpo 6/10

SUBS: (On for Szoboszlai 65’) No chance to score as game ended in dramatic fashion. EPA

Joe Gomez 6/10

(On for Mac Allister 65’) Brought on in defensive reshuffle that would see Alexander-Arnold pushed forward to match-winning effect. EPA

Ibrahima Konate 6/10

(On for Matip 68’) Big defender came on with game in the balance at 2-2. Reuters

Wataru Endo N/A

(On for Gravenberch 83’) Nearly scored with deflected effort that flew wide then did score with beautiful first-time strike into top corner. PA

Bernd Leno 7/10

FULHAM RATINGS: Picked up head injury early on in challenge with Diaz after spilling Szoboszlai shot, which left him with heavy bandaging. Could do nothing against two world-class goals in first half – although Alexander-Arnold’s free kick would be given as unofortunate own goal against German – or the two late on. EPAShow less

Kenny Tete 7/10

Stabbed home Fulham’s second equaliser in first-half injury-time that was initially ruled out for offside but saw call overturned by VAR. Poor decision to go down looking for foul just after break when in good attacking position. EPAShow less

Calvin Bassey 6/10

Strong performance at back from Nigerian up against some dangerous attacking talent on home team until defence wilted under late Liverpool pressure and a baying Anfield crowd. AFP

Tim Ream 7/10

Denied goal by offside call that would have put Fulham 3-2 up in lengthy first-half stoppage time period – 12 minutes in all – following Leno’s treatment for head injury. Desperate sliding challenge enough to put off Nunez as Uruguayan hit bar. PAShow less

Antonee Robinson 7/10

Perfect low cross to pick out Wilson for Fulham’s equaliser in 24th minute. Another surging run not long after ended with shot being deflected wide for corner. Had shot saved by keeper in 78th minute and his clash with Salah was intriguing from first to last minute. EPAShow less

Harrison Reed 6/10

Scampered around harrying Liverpool as much as possible when in possession, which was for 69 per cent of the match. PA

Joao Palhinha 7/10

Back in team after suspension but was his foul on Szoboszlai that provided Alexander-Arnold with opportunity to fire home free-kick. Industrious performance from Portuguese midfielder who provides team’s heartbeat. AFPShow less

Alex Iwobi 7/10

Started on left of midfield, with Wilson on right, and former Everton player played part in move that led to Wilson scoring. Everton man did ok without setting the world alight. AFP

Andreas Pereira 6/10

Brazilian is a beautiful passer of the ball with a lovely touch but not much of a threat on goal at Anfield, bar one weaving run and shot in second half that flew well wide. EPA

Harry Wilson 7/10

Clipped home shot at near post after well-timed run for first league goal of season to make it 1-1 with goal that came from nowhere. Would have been clean through minutes later but first touch let him down. Important block on Van Dijk shot in busy first half. EPAShow less

Raul Jimenez 5/10

Really poor header teed-up shooting opportunity for Mac Allister that Argentine finished in stunning style. Better header at other end of pitch helped set up Tete’s leveller but no threat to the Liverpool goal himself as well well marked by Van Dijk. PAShow less

Willian 6/10

SUBS: (On for Pereira 62’) Scored two penalties against Wolves last time out and combined with two fellow substitutes Cairney and De Cordova-Reid for third goal. AP

Tom Cairney 7/10

(On for Wilson 62’) Perfect chipped ball across six-yard box that fellow substitute De Cordova-Reid headed home. Getty Images

Timothy Castagne 6/10

(On for Tete 75’) Full-back and rest of team couldn’t stop late Liverpool onslaught that snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory for Fulham. AFP

Bobby De Cordova-Reid 7/10

(On for Iwobi 75’) Might feel that Robinson should have set him up with chance at back post not long after coming on but teammate decided to go for goal. Did score not long after when outjumping Tsimikas to put side 3-2 up with 10 minutes to go. Getty ImagesShow less

Liverpool staged a sensational late comeback to beat Fulham in a seven-goal Premier League thriller on Sunday.

The Reds appeared set for their first home defeat in the Premier League since October 2022 when they went 3-2 down to Bobby De Cordova-Reid's goal in the 80th minute.

But they turned the tables in dramatic fashion through Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who struck in the 87th and 88th minutes.

It was the latest Liverpool have ever fallen behind in a Premier League match that they went on to win.

“We played an incredible game until we didn't any more,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said.

“All credit to Fulham, they did really well. Today we scored four worldies and were lucky in the end to win the game, and that tells you everything.”

Fulham manager Marco Silva saw his side end the week having scored six times in two Premier League matches – after just 10 in their previous 12 – and was frustrated not to have got something from their trip to Anfield.

“Clearly we deserved much more from the game than what we took,” he said.

“To come to Anfield and play the way we did – twice we scored to equalise – and then at the end of the second half to be able to score a great team goal and be leading is not an easy thing.

“We know the game is never 100 per cent under control against these types of sides and these types of crowds but the game was more or less under control.

“[Then] one long ball, a good second ball from them and another great finish from the edge of the box and in that moment I knew it was the end of the match.”
