Sharjah24: Fulham snatched a valuable point after holding reigning champions Liverpool to a dramatic 2-2 draw in Round 20 of the English Premier League, courtesy of a late equaliser at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Liverpool looked on course to secure all three points after turning the game around in stoppage time, but Fulham substitute Harrison Reed struck a powerful long-range effort just seconds after coming on to restore parity and deny the visitors a late win.

Points dropped in title chase

The result marked Liverpool’s second consecutive draw after a run of four straight victories across all competitions. The Reds moved to 34 points, placing them fourth in the standings, ahead of their upcoming clash with league leaders Arsenal later this week.

Goals and key moments

Fulham opened the scoring in the 17th minute through Harry Wilson, who finished calmly after beating the offside trap. Liverpool improved after the break, with Florian Wirtz levelling the score before Cody Gakpo netted what looked like the winner in the 94th minute. Reed’s stunning strike moments later sealed a share of the points.

Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo said, “I really thought my goal was the winner. It’s frustrating, but credit to Fulham — it was a great strike.”
