Fulham captain Tom Cairney has expressed his frustration at the decision to award Liverpool the match-winning penalty.
Issa Diop was adjudged to have fouled Reds striker Darwin Nunez in the penalty area which subsequently handed Mohamed Salah the opportunity to score his ninth goal in his last eight games at Anfield. The Egyptian rifled his spot-kick home past the despairing Bernd Leno.
It proved to be the only goal of the game for the Reds in a win where they were forced to weather pressure from the Cottagers. The triumph takes Jurgen Klopp's side to within four points of Manchester United, who currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League place.
