Fulham Stun Liverpool With 97th-Minute Screamer

Liverpool were held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage, surrendering a stoppage-time lead in a breathless Premier League clash in west London. The result extends Liverpool’s unbeaten league run but will feel like two points dropped after Cody Gakpo’s late strike was cancelled out even deeper into added time.
​

Wilson haunts former club

Fulham struck first through former Liverpool winger Harry Wilson, who opened the scoring midway through the first half. Released by a clever flick from Raúl Jiménez, Wilson broke in behind the defence and finished, with the goal awarded after a tight VAR offside review.
​
The hosts’ organised defensive shape and sharp counter-attacks troubled Liverpool before the break, with Fulham successfully limiting clear chances while threatening in transition.

Liverpool fight back

Liverpool improved significantly after half-time, increasing their tempo and penning Fulham back for long spells. The pressure finally told when Florian Wirtz levelled the game, latching onto a pass from Conor Bradley before finishing, again seeing VAR confirm the goal after another close offside check.
​
With momentum on their side, Liverpool continued to push for a winner, rotating their attacking options and sustaining waves of pressure around the Fulham box.

Stoppage-time chaos

The visitors thought they had completed the turnaround in stoppage time when Cody Gakpo arrived at the back post to put Liverpool 2–1 up, sparking celebrations among the away supporters.
​
However, Fulham produced a stunning response in the dying moments, as Harrison Reed unleashed a powerful long‑range strike into the top corner in the 97th minute to secure a 2–2 draw and send Craven Cottage into raptures.

Wider implications

The draw keeps Liverpool’s unbeaten Premier League run intact but represents a setback in their push at the top end of the table, given the manner of the late equaliser.
​
For Fulham, the result extends a strong recent league sequence and underlines their resilience, particularly at home, after coming from behind in stoppage time against one of the division’s leading sides.
