With a penalty goal from the egyptian Mohamed Salah in the final stretch of the match (79), the Liverpool took a point (1-1) on his visit to Fulham (17th), which allows the ‘Reds’ to maintain their coliderato with the Tottenham, which also drew against Crystal Palace (11th).
Liverpool have not won away from Anfield in the English championship since they beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on 20 September. Since then a defeat (7-2 against Aston Villa) and four consecutive draws (Everton, Manchester City, Brighton and Fulham).
This Sunday he suffered to achieve the point in the field of Fulham, which took the lead in the first half with a cross shot from Bobby Reid (25).
Salah tied at 11 for the final when he transformed a controversial penalty, called after Wijnaldum’s direct free-kick hit the hand of a member of the barrier, but his arm was close to the body.
Before, Tottenham did not go beyond the tie (1-1) in their visit to Crystal Palace (11th).
Captain Harry Kane put the Spurs ahead with a shot from outside the area that didn’t seem too difficult for Vicente Guaita to save, but the ball made a stranger and fooled the Spanish goalkeeper (23).
After the goal, the locals stretched lines and began to arrive in danger before the goal of Frenchman Hugo Lloris, who was saved by wood from conceding the first goal before the break (43).
After missing a clear chance in 69, the German Jeffrey Schlupp would end up scoring the tie with 10 minutes to go, taking advantage of a short rebound from Lloris (81).
In the final stretch, the Spurs went for the victory, but first the crossbar (86) and then Guaita (90 + 2) prevented the victory of the team coached by José Mourinho.
With these results, Tottenham and Liverpool add 25 points, two more than the surprising Southampton, who placed third after clearly defeating the bottom of the Premier League, Sheffield United, 3-0.
Although they did not go ahead soon, the ‘Saints’ were not disturbed at any time by the bottom of the league, a mirage of the team that surprised last season. Che Adams scored the first of the locals in the 34th minute and it was necessary to wait until the second half for the rojiblancos to ensure the victory with the targets of Stuart Armstrong (62) and Nathan Redmond (83).
Leicester (5th), on their side, could overtake Chelsea (4th) and Southampton if they beat Brighton (16th) in their coliseum, also this Sunday.
