Liverpool beat Fulham 3-1 to climb level with Arsenal

LONDON : Liverpool climbed level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, thanks to goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota.

Liverpool trail Arsenal on goal difference with both on 74 points with five games remaining, however holders Manchester City, who are third on 73 points, have a game in hand.

Alexander-Arnold, in his first league start since Feb. 10, curled a stunning free kick into the top corner in the 32nd minute that keeper Bernd Leno had little chance of stopping.

Timothy Castagne fired home for Fulham just before the break with a side-footed shot past keeper Alisson. Yet Gravenberch put the Reds back on top in the 53rd minute when he curled a shot inside the far post for his first league goal, and Jota sealed the win in the 72nd minute.
