Liverpool Secure Crucial Win Over Fulham as Ngumoha Steals the Show
Liverpool ended their three-match losing streak with a 2-0 victory over Fulham, easing the pressure on manager Arne Slot. The Reds' youngest ever Premier League goalscorer at Anfield, Rio Ngumoha, broke the deadlock at just 17 years and 225 days old, before Mohamed Salah doubled the lead with a classic finish. Despite conceding 19 shots and nine corners, Liverpool managed to see out the game without any major scares, giving them a cushion in the race for the final Champions League spot. The win marked a much-needed boost for Slot's side, who had won just two of their previous eight games in all competitions. Ngumoha's impressive strike was his first goal since his dramatic late winner at Newcastle in August, and it was followed up by Salah's sixth Premier League goal of the season. Fulham dominated territory after the break but were unable to capitalize, with Sasa Lukic having a goal ruled out for offside and Rodrigo Muniz failing to make the most of a free header. The victory gives Liverpool a four-point cushion over Chelsea in the race for the final Champions League spot, and they will now look to reverse a 2-0 deficit to PSG in the Champions League.
