Having endured the toughest season of his Liverpool tenure to date, Jurgen Klopp is at least ensuring his players finish strongly as they made it five wins in as many games to keep their Champions League aspirations alive.
It was far from a classic and a nervous finale ensured fans were kept in a state of unease as the game headed towards its conclusion, but Mohamed Salah's first-half penalty was just about enough to secure this 1-0 win over Fulham.
It's officially the most consistent run of the campaign to date. Now unbeaten in seven with five victories on the trot since that 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Easter Sunday, Klopp may even yet rue the fact that his team's return to form came just too late in the day to secure the salvation of a top-four place. That dream, however, still lives on. For now.
