Liverpool extended their winning run to five matches after earning a 1-0 win at the expense of Fulham on Wednesday evening.
Mohamed Salah's 39th-minute penalty proved to be the difference between the two teams, in what became a tense affair at Anfield as the clock ticked down during the second half.
Victory has ensured the Reds remain good value to secure a European finish this season and could yet gatecrash the Champions League places should Manchester United or Newcastle falter in the coming weeks.
