Liverpool Breathe a Sigh of Relief as Ngumoha Steals the Show in Win Over Fulham

Liverpool halted their three-game losing streak with a convincing 2-0 victory over Fulham, easing the pressure on manager Arne Slot. The Reds' youngest ever Premier League goalscorer at Anfield, Rio Ngumoha, made history at just 17 years and 225 days old with a stunning opener. Mohamed Salah doubled the lead minutes later with a classic finish, scoring only his second Premier League goal since November. Despite Fulham's dominance in the second half, Liverpool held firm, with Sasa Lukic's disallowed goal and Rodrigo Muniz's missed header the closest they came to scoring. The win gives Liverpool a cushion in the top-four race, with a four-point gap to Chelsea in sixth. Ngumoha's impressive display earned him the Player of the Match award, with his pace and skill on full show. The 17-year-old's goal was his first since his dramatic late winner at Newcastle in August. Liverpool boss Arne Slot praised Ngumoha's influence on the game, highlighting his ability to dominate one-on-one situations and his deserved playing time. The win marks a welcome turnaround for Slot's side, who had won just two of their previous eight games in all competitions.
