It was Alexander-Arnold himself who broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute, delivering a stellar free-kick that soared effortlessly into the top corner, granting the Reds a deserved lead. However, Fulham managed to equalize just before halftime courtesy of Timothy Castagne.

Liverpool wasted no time in reclaiming control early in the second half. Harvey Elliott intercepted an errant pass from Alex Iwobi and set up Gravenberch, who netted his inaugural Premier League goal with a powerful 20-yard strike that nestled into the net off Leno’s left post.

The visitors cemented their triumph 18 minutes from the final whistle, with Jota capitalizing on a pinpoint through ball from Cody Gakpo, coolly slotting home the crucial third goal. After a meticulous review by VAR for a marginal offside call, the goal was confirmed, sealing Liverpool's victory.

With this result, Liverpool drew level with Arsenal at the summit of the table, both amassing 74 points from 33 matches, with Arsenal holding the top spot by virtue of goal difference. Meanwhile, Manchester City trails closely behind in third place with 73 points from 32 games.
