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

Liverpool ended a run of three consecutive defeats with a 2-0 win over Fulham, thanks to goals from Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah. At just 17 years and 225 days old, Ngumoha became Liverpool's youngest ever Premier League goalscorer at Anfield, scoring a stunning opener before Salah doubled the lead with his second Premier League goal since November. The win gives Liverpool a four-point cushion in the race for the final Champions League spot, with Chelsea now four points behind. Despite being outshot 19-0 and facing nine corners, Liverpool managed to see out the game without any major scares. The victory comes as a welcome relief for manager Arne Slot, whose side had won just two of their previous eight games in all competitions. Ngumoha's strike was his first goal since his dramatic late winner at Newcastle in August, and it was his involvement again that led to Liverpool's second goal, as he picked out Gakpo, who laid off for Salah to clip home. 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 win marks a significant turning point for Liverpool, who now look to reverse a 2-0 deficit to PSG in the Champions League.
