Liverpool Bounce Back with 2-0 Win Over Fulham as Ngumoha Shines

Liverpool ended their three-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over Fulham, courtesy of a historic goal from 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha and a trademark strike from Mohamed Salah. Ngumoha, who became Liverpool's youngest-ever Premier League goalscorer at Anfield, broke the deadlock with a stunning finish, before Salah doubled the lead with his second Premier League goal since November. Despite being outshot by Fulham, Liverpool held on for a clean sheet, a welcome change from their recent struggles in the final 20 minutes of games. The win gives Liverpool a four-point cushion in the race for the final Champions League spot, ahead of Chelsea's clash with Manchester City. Arne Slot's side had been under pressure after a string of poor results, but the victory provides some breathing space for the Dutchman. Ngumoha, who scored his first goal since a dramatic late winner at Newcastle in August, was praised by Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp for his 'natural X-factor' and 'fast feet'. Slot hailed Ngumoha's ability to dominate one-on-one situations and deservedly earn more playing time, while also acknowledging that the win was a just result after a series of narrow defeats.
