Tim Ream has delivered Liverpool's top four rivals with a distinct route to success against Jurgen Klopp's side following Fulham's opening day draw with the Reds at Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva's men caused Liverpool immense trouble from kick-off and deservedly went into the break with a one-goal advantage thanks to Aleksandar Mitrović's header.
Despite Darwin Nunez's equalizer, the Cottagers continued to probe and went ahead once more through a Mitrović penalty. Mohammed Salah's strike would eventually secure a point for the visitors and deny Fulham an impressive victory upon their return to the Premier League.

When asked how Fulham had prepared to take on last season's Premier League and Champions League runners-up, United States international Ream provided an answer that Liverpool's top four rivals may take great interest in.
He claimed "We knew that if we could be aggressive and if we took the game to them they would find it difficult. Whether they were prepared for it or not, that’s on them. We knew what our game plan and we did it pretty much perfectly."
"We did exactly what we wanted to, made the game tough, no matter who they are and where they are and the calibre they are, to a man we did that today."
Liverpool continue their campaign by hosting Crystal Palace at Anfield next week.
