Following their two goals in the last four minutes of regulation time, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed his team’s thrilling 4-3 Premier League victory over Fulham as a “game you will never forget.”
Jurgen Klopp: “Everyone who attended had an incredible time. Nobody would have predicted, in my opinion, that the match between Liverpool and Fulham would be one they would never forget. However, you’re welcome.
It appeared as though the home team would suffer its first loss at Anfield since February when Real Madrid triumphed. Still, Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold stole the win, making it their 11th straight home victory of the season.
The vice captain of Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold, was rightfully rewarded for his outstanding free-kick that opened the score, which was mistakenly given credit for an own goal by Bernd Leno after the ball entered through the goalie and the underside of the crossbar.
Even better was Alexis Mac Allister’s first goal for the team since joining from Brighton in the summer, a soaring 30-yard strike into the top corner to restore their advantage after Harry Wilson, a former Liverpool forward, had equalized.
However, Liverpool pulled off a late comeback as further shoddy defending allowed Kenny Tete to tie the score 2-2 just before halftime. Substitute Bobby De Cordova-Reid also appeared to have taken three points in the 80th minute.
“After the game, there was a very special feeling. There were moments during the game when it was slightly different,” stated Klopp.
“I told the boys after the game turned out, the game we saw, because we were a bit dumb. But at 3-3 everyone could see the boys wanted more, and because we were a bit lucky today, we got it.
“Everyone who was present had an incredible experience. Nobody would have predicted, in my opinion, that the match between Liverpool and Fulham would be one that they would never forget. You’re welcome, though.
“This many ‘worldies’ at a competitive game is something I have never seen.” Trent’s free-kick was amazing. Macca, you could tell before the game that his foot was in the proper place today. I said to him, “You best try it,” and he agreed.”
