Liverpool recorded a fifth straight Premier League win as Fulham were edged out 1-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The Reds claimed the game’s only goal on 39 minutes when Mohamed Salah emphatically converted a penalty after Issa Diop had fouled Darwin Nunez inside the box.
Jürgen Klopp’s side had further chances to extend their advantage, while Alisson Becker thwarted Carlos Vinicius with a fine save in the closing stages to ensure the hosts extended their unbeaten run to seven matches.
