Premier League leader Liverpool twice came from behind with 10 men to draw with Fulham 2-2, yet dropped points for the second straight match to give hope to its title rivals on Saturday. Arsenal failed to take advantage. A 0-0 draw at home to lowly Everton left third-placed Arsenal still six points behind Liverpool and will go down as a big opportunity missed.
Undermined by Andy Robertson's 17th-minute red card, Liverpool did well to earn a point at Anfield — but could have pulled off an unlikely win after sustained late pressure following Diogo Jota's equalizer in the 86th. Fulham led for the first time after Andreas Pereira's 11th-minute volley deflected into the net off Robertson, who was sent off six minutes later for bringing down Harry Wilson as the last man and denying a goal-scoring opportunity. Cody Gakpo leveled just after halftime by heading in a cross from Mohamed Salah, who registered his 100th assist for Liverpool in all competitions. Substitute Rodrigo Muniz's flick put Fulham back ahead in the 76th, only for Jota to run onto Darwin Nunez's pass, turn his marker and drive home a finish from the edge of the area. Liverpool drew at Newcastle 3-3 in its last league game. Arsenal has also drawn two games in a row, after a 1-1 at Fulham last weekend, and hasn't scored from open play in its last three league matches. Second-placed Chelsea hosts Brentford on Sunday and can move two points behind Liverpool with a win.
