Quickfire goals from Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a much-needed win over Fulham in the race to qualify for the Champions League. The Reds came into the match having lost three on the spin, but broke down a plucky Fulham side to take a two-goal lead into the break, with both Ngumoha and Salah curling past Bernd Leno. The win takes them back into the top five ahead of Sunday’s fixtures, and they will hope to put breathing space between themselves and Chelsea as they host Manchester City.
