Liverpool Bounces Back with 2-0 Victory Over Fulham as Ngumoha Steals the Show

Liverpool broke their three-match losing streak with a 2-0 win over Fulham, relieving pressure on manager Arne Slot. Rio Ngumoha made history as Liverpool's youngest Premier League goalscorer at Anfield, aged 17 years and 225 days, with a stunning strike. Mohamed Salah followed up with a classic goal to double the lead, scoring only his second Premier League goal since November. Despite facing 19 shots and nine corners, Liverpool managed the game without major scares, looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit against PSG in the Champions League. The win gives Liverpool a four-point cushion in the race for the final Champions League spot. Slot's side had won just two of their previous eight games, but Ngumoha and Salah's first-half goals helped them overcome a rusty Fulham, who were playing their first game in three weeks. Liverpool's victory was aided by a strong team performance, with Ngumoha and Salah standing out. The 17-year-old's driving run led to the opener, which he finished brilliantly, wrong-footing Timothy Castagne before curling the ball into the far corner. Ngumoha was involved again as Liverpool doubled their lead, picking out Gakpo, who laid off for Salah to clip the ball home. Fulham dominated territory after the break but had a goal ruled out for offside, and several chances missed. The win provides breathing space for Slot, with Liverpool now looking to build momentum. Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp praised Ngumoha's potential, saying he has a natural X-factor and fast feet. Liverpool boss Arne Slot also praised Ngumoha, highlighting his strength in one-on-one situations and his growing influence in the game.
