Mohammed Salah Scores As Liverpool Beat Fulham 1-0

Mohammed Salah scores as Liverpool beat Fulham 1-0 to keep their dreams of claiming a Champions League place alive.

Mohamed Salah was Liverpool’s match-winner as he smashed in his 17th Premier League goal of the season from the penalty spot after Issa Diop was adjudged to have fouled Darwin Nunez.

Fulham boss Marco Silva described referee Stuart Atwell’s decision to award the penalty as “embarrassing“.

Liverpool were indebted to a smothering save from Alisson as he prevented Carlos Vinicius from earning Fulham a point towards the end of the second period, before substitute Bobby Decordova-Reid fired the visitors’ best chance over in stoppage-time.

But Salah’s strike proved enough for Liverpool to secure a fifth successive Premier League victory which lifts them up to fifth. Silva was left seething after a third straight defeat left Fulham in 10th position.
