.LFC survive FulhamFC scare to go top of premierleague
LONDON – Liverpool usurped Manchester City to take top spot in the Premier League but needed a James Milner penalty nine minutes from time to see off lowly Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
But they nearly suffered a very costly European hangover against a Fulham side still 13 points adrift of safety. At the other end, Babel was Fulham’s biggest threat all afternoon and Tom Cairney fired wastefully over after the Dutchman outpaced Trent Alexander-Arnold just before the break.Andy Robertson was the provider as Georginio Wijnaldum headed a good opportunity over at the far post before Rico was called into action to deny Van Dijk.
Mane was inches away from securing the points and doubling his tally for the day with a deft header from a corner that clipped the top of the crossbar.
