Liverpool 2-2 Fulham
The ten-men Reds came from behind twice with Diogo Jota scoring late to rescue a point at Anfield against Fulham.
Returning from injury, Jota scored an 86th-minute equaliser after Rodrigo Munez had put Fulham back in front ten minutes earlier.
Andreas Periera had given Fulham the lead, Andy Robertson was then dismissed, before Cody Gakpo scored the Reds’ first equaliser.
In the 11th minute, Anthonee Robinson crossed to the back post with Periera finishing on the stretch, on the volley.
Robertson miscontrolled it six minutes later and then denied Harry Wilson a goal-scoring opportunity with the referee brandishing a red card.

“Second half FC” followed the script after half-time as Cody Gakpo scored a diving header in front of The Kop.
Left-back Robinson turned creator for the second time when Muniz flicked his pass beyond Alisson to restore the visitors’ lead.
Harvey Elliott – who continues to get back up to speed – curled an effort just wide of the top right corner.
Substitute Darwin Nunez played to Jota who turned Jorge Cuenca inside out before sitting down Bernd Leno with his finish.
Robinson blocked from van Dijk and Diaz took too long to shoot before an effort from Jota was deflected over.
