If Liverpool seems to have been left out of the title race, the Reds must still secure their place for the next Champions League. Arne Slot’s squad (4th) had the opportunity to widen the gap on their pursuers, during their trip to Fulham for the 20th day of the Premier League. Without Hugo Ékitiké, injured, the Mersey club was surprised, shortly after a quarter of an hour of play, with the opening score of the former Red, Harry Wilson (17th, 1-0). We had to wait until the second half to see Liverpool react, through Florian Wirtz (57th, 1-1), scorer for the second time this season. After a long domination in the second half, Liverpool thought they would leave with the victory after Cody Gakpo’s goal in added time (90th + 4, 1-2)… But that was without counting on the exceptional goal from Harrison Reed (90th + 7, 2-2) to snatch the point from the draw for the Cottagers and blow up Craven Cottage.
