Alexander-Arnold scores dramatic winner as Liverpool beat Fulham in seven-goal thriller

Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a dramatic late winner as Liverpool snatched victory from jaws of defeat against Fulham in a thrilling Premier League clash on Sunday.

It seemed Fulham had grabbed all three points when substitute Bobby de Cordova-Reid headed Fulham into a 3-2 lead with 10 minutes left at Anfield.

The Cottagers would have become the first side since Real Madrid in February to win at Anfield – and the first in the Premier League since Leeds United in October 2022.

But Liverpool, roared on by a deafening home crowd, refused to give up the chase and Wataru Endo pulled them back into game with his first Premier League goal, four minutes after being called off the bench.

And little over a minute later, the Merseysiders were level when Alexander-Arnold – whose stunning first-half free-kick had been ruled an own-goal against Fulham keeper Bernd Leno – fired home to move Liverpool back to within two points of leaders Arsenal.

It capped a breathless end to what was a fantastic game of football when it looked like Liverpool's wastefulness in front of goal was going to cost them dearly.

“Just kind of anticipated it, saw it was coming to the back post,” Alexander-Arnold said of his winner. “I thought just try to get on target, found its way to the back of the net. You can see by the celebration how much it meant.

“It's mad to be honest. A game of massive ups and downs. Leading, then getting clawed back twice, then obviously losing with about five minutes to go, getting the equaliser and then getting the winner.

“It was an unbelievable game, full of emotion. Just very, very happy to get the win and be able to get over the line.”
