X reacts as Liverpool remain in Premier League title race thanks to 3-1 win over Fulham

Liverpool kept pace with Arsenal atop of the Premier League table thanks to a much-needed 3-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Reds, after losing last weekend to Crystal Palace, had been in dire need of a confidence-boosting win on Sunday – and they got exactly that.

Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota were enough for Jurgen Klopp’s side to bounce back from that defeat, and keeping themselves in the hunt for a second ever Premier League title.

Here’s how X reacted to the game:

All of the talk before the game centred around on notable omission from Liverpool’s starting XI for the game at Craven Cottage.

Having managed just two goals in his last five appearances in all competitions, star man Mohamed Salah was left out of the lineup for Sunday’s game – a decision which caused quite the stir on social media…

Jurgen Klopp‘s decision to drop Salah was almost immediately vindicated, when Luis Diaz – the who replaced him on the right of the Reds attack – came within a whisker of scoring the opening in the early exchanges.

After that early chance, the game endured quite the lull.

For 27 minutes, Liverpool and Fulham prodded the ball around the park with very little intent, giving both sets of supporters nothing to get off their hands for.

And then Trent Alexander-Arnold woke everyone up with a moment of magic.

In his first start since early February, the right-back stepped up and curled a wonderful free kick over the Fulham wall and into the top right corner of the net.
