Liverpool traveled to the Craven Cottage to play their first game. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp set up the team formation with 4-3-3 in this match. The manager surprised everyone by benching Darwin Nunez and starting Roberto Firmino instead. On the other hand, Fulham’s manager played his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation. He deployed Andreas Pereira, who joined Fulham FC from Manchester United during the current transfer window.

But Liverpool’s defender Virgil Van Dijk made a mistake in the 71st minute. He fouled Mitrovic inside the box. As a result, the match referee awarded a penalty kick to Fulham FC. Mitrovich took the penalty shoot and made no mistakes. So, the home team took the lead again.

It seemed Fulham FC were going to beat Liverpool. But the drama was yet to come. Liverpool’s forward Mohammad Salah found the net in the last ten minutes of the match to save Liverpool. As a result, the match ended in a 2-2 tie.
