The Reds, who have been in scintillating form this season, were completely outplayed by a rampant Fulham side at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers took the lead through a stunning strike from Aleksandar Mitrovic in the 32nd minute. Liverpool’s woes worsened in the second half as Fulham piled on the misery. Mitrovic doubled his tally in the 50th minute, before Carvalho added a third in the 60th minute. Manor Solomon completed the rout in the 88th minute with a clinical finish. The defeat marks Liverpool’s heaviest in the Premier League since a 5-0 thrashing by Aston Villa in April 2022.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was left bewildered by his team’s performance. “It’s a difficult day for us,” he said after the match. “We were second best in all departments. Fulham deserved the win, they were better than us.” Fulham manager Marco Silva hailed his team’s display as “a perfect performance.” “We worked so hard for this,” he said. “We believed in ourselves and we showed that we can compete with the best teams in the league.” The result sent shockwaves through the Premier League. Liverpool, who were considered title favorites at the start of the season, are now facing serious questions about their ability to retain their crown. Fulham, meanwhile, have announced themselves as a potential force to be reckoned with in their first season back in the top flight.
