It was a disappointing day for Liverpool on the whole as the Reds faltered courtesy of an inspired Fulham performance that was topped off by a Man of the Match display from striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Serb starred as the Cottagers started the new 2022/23 Premier League season on the right foot with an invaluable point collected at home against last season's quadruple chasing team. After an electric start in the first half, the newcomers deservedly went ahead in the 32nd minute as Kenny Tete's cross was met at the far post by Mitrovic who outjumped Trent Alexander-Arnold at the back post.
Something that Chelsea fans were keen to point out as it only took until the first game week of the new campaign for the Reece James and Alexander Arnold debate to kick off on social media. Liverpool did respond in the second half and substitute Darwin Nunez netted his first goal of the campaign with a slightly fortuitous effort after his attempted back-heel effort ricocheted off a Fulham defender and back onto him before flying in.
