Liverpool player ratings after the 2-0 Premier League victory against Fulham at Anfield include two 8/10s but a “wasteful” star among three 6/10s.

Liverpool defeated Fulham 2-0 in the Premier League at Anfield to end a terrible run of play.

The Reds’ prospects of qualifying for the Champions League were increased by goals from 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha, who scored his first home Premier League goal, and Mo Salah, who made his first appearance at L4 since declaring he would depart at the end of the season.

It was the much-needed boost for under-pressure head coach Arne Slot and his team ahead of Tuesday’s rematch against the European Cup holders following a sobering 4-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup quarterfinals and a comprehensive 2-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg.

Report of the match

Andy Robertson, who announced prior to the match that he would be leaving the team at the end of the season, had an attempt blocked in the 11th minute, Salah’s shot was saved two minutes later, and Cody Gakpo’s shot went just wide on the 20th, making Liverpool the superior team in the first half.

In the 32nd minute, Fulham winger Oscar Bobb caused Reds goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to make a good stop, and a minute later, Harry Wilson flashed across for the visitors.

However, Liverpool’s exceptional talent gave them the lead at a pivotal point in the match. Ngumoha stormed into the Fulham area in minute 36 and curled a right-footed effort into the far corner.

Additionally, the Reds extended their lead with another spectacular finish in the 40th minute. Salah stroked the ball past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno after Gakpo passed it to him.

Five minutes into the second half, Liverpool had a chance to seal the victory when Jeremie Frimpong’s cross found Gakpo, but he was conflicted and missed the chance.

Additionally, as Fulham probed Anfield, anxiety began to build throughout the game. The Cottagers came agonizingly close to cutting the deficit with 12 minutes left when Emile Smith Rowe’s superb volley just missed the far post.

But Liverpool prevailed, moving four points ahead of Chelsea and guaranteeing that they will finish in the top five of the Premier League at the conclusion of the weekend. As Liverpool looks to pull off their most recent European miracle, the focus now shifts to PSG.
