A new blow to Liverpool ... Fulham scores historic victory in "Anfield"

Fulham doubled the plight of Liverpool in the current season in the English Premier League and beat them 1-0 at home today, Sunday, in the twenty-seventh stage of the competition, which today also saw West Bromwich Albion draw with Newcastle in a negative way.


At the "Anfield" stadium in Liverpool, Fulham doubled the plight of Liverpool and beat them with a clean goal scored by Mario Lemina in the 45th minute.


The defeat is the second in a row for Liverpool in the competition and is the sixth for the team in their last seven matches in the title-defense journey this season.


Liverpool's balance stuck at 43 points in seventh place, leaving the team a new step away from the first-place struggle, noting that the team's chances of defending the title are almost non-existent in light of the widening gap with leaders Manchester City to 22 points.


Fulham raised their score to 26 points in 18th place, on goal difference just behind Brighton.


The defeat is only the second for Liverpool in 24 matches at home against Fulham in the English Premier League, while Liverpool has won 16 of these matches, compared to six draws.


Fulham have maintained their unbeaten record in the club's last eight away league matches, the longest series of consecutive away matches for the team unbeaten in the club's history.


Liverpool did not offer the expected offer in the first half, as the team’s attempts were limited to individual skirmishes from the players, most of which were from the Egyptian player Mohamed Salah, but these attempts did not bear fruit.


Liverpool received the punishment for this in the 45th minute, after a pass from Ivan Cavallero, which Mario Lemina took advantage of and fired a powerful ball that landed in the net to announce the superiority of Fulham just before the end of the first half.


In the second half, Liverpool intensified its attacks and besieged its guest inside the penalty area most of the time, but opportunities were lost in succession due to bad luck sometimes and lack of focus at other times due to the tension of the nerves of Liverpool players over time.


West Bromwich Albion fell in a goalless draw with Newcastle, bringing its tally to 18 points in the nineteenth place before the last, compared to 27 points for Newcastle, who advanced to the sixteenth place.
