Liverpool 1-0 Fulham LIVE! Premier League result, match stream, latest reaction and updates today

Liverpool vs Fulham - LIVE!

Liverpool closed the gap to the Champions League places to four points as they edged past Fulham with a 1-0 win at Anfield. Four wins in a row had kept the Reds’ incredibly slim top-four hopes alive, and that became five on the bounce for the first time this season as Mohamed Salah’s first-half penalty proved enough to continue the strong run and pick up three more points.

Darwin Nunez poked the ball away from Issa Diop and went down as the Fulham man swung at a ball that was no longer there, with the referee swiftly pointing to the spot. Salah stepped up and hammered the penalty down the middle.

Fulham were in the match right up until the final whistle, with Carlos Vinicius denied by a brilliant Alisson save late on, but Liverpool held on to close to gap to Manchester United in fourth.
