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

Liverpool snapped a three-game losing streak with a crucial 2-0 victory over Fulham, thanks in large part to the impressive performance of 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha. Ngumoha became the youngest player to score a Premier League goal at Anfield, finding the back of the net at just 17 years and 225 days old. His goal was followed by a classic finish from Mohamed Salah, who scored his second Premier League goal since November. Despite being outshot 19-0 and facing nine corners, Liverpool managed to secure the win without any major scares, giving them a much-needed cushion in the race for a Champions League spot. The win comes as a relief for manager Arne Slot, whose side had won just two of their previous eight games in all competitions. Ngumoha's goal was the result of a driving run by Florian Wirtz, who set up the youngster for a beautifully curled finish. The 17-year-old was involved again in Liverpool's second goal, picking out Gakpo, who laid off the ball for Salah to score. Fulham dominated possession after the break but were unable to capitalize on their chances, with Sasa Lukic having a goal ruled out for offside and Rodrigo Muniz failing to make the most of a free header. The win gives Liverpool a four-point cushion over Chelsea in the race for the final Champions League spot.
