Jurgen Klopp admitted Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at newly promoted Fulham felt like a defeat for last season’s Premier League runners-up.
Mohamed Salah’s late equaliser helped cancel out two goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, with Darwin Nunez having earlier levelled for the Reds after Fulham’s opener.
Serbia striker Mitrovic looked every part the player who smashed Championship records with 43 goals last season when he opened his account for the campaign in the 32nd minute, before following it up with a second-half penalty.
Nunez had followed Mitrovic’s first with a clever improvised backheel goal, before turning provider on his league debut for Salah, who slotted home Liverpool’s crucial second 10 minutes from time.
