2022-2023 PL: Liverpool vs. Fulham

(BBC Sport) Fulham have started to get into the game more. Carlos Vinicius can't quite squeeze through the two centre-backs and it comes back to Joao Palhinha. He skies it way over from long range.

Curtis Jones thinks he's offside at the back post so stops playing. The flag stays down, Fulham break and Carlos Vinicius is one-on-one with Kostas Tsimikas. He goes down under contact from the Liverpool full-back but is told to get to his feet and play on.

(BBC Sport) Sasa Lukic brings down Curtis Jones for a free-kick just over the halfway line. Liverpool take it quickly but Luis Diaz can't bundle through in the box.

Paul Robinson, Former Leeds goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live: Fulham are the masters of their own downfall. Nunez just nicks the ball above him and it's really hard to see whether he makes contact with him. I personally don't think there is.

Paul Robinson, Former Leeds goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live: This game needed a goal but Fulham didn't really deserve to go down one. Liverpool have had the majority of possession, but they didn't deserve to go ahead like that.
