Fulham’s second came from a poor pass from Andy Robertson, gifting the ball to Iwobi just outside the Liverpool box.
Conor Bradley received the ball centrally and carried it towards the Fulham defenders before finding Diaz who neatly slotted the ball past Leno.
With the ever-looming news that Trent Alexander-Arnold will likely be leaving for the Spanish capital, Liverpool fans will be reassured by the injection of energy and the influence that Bradley had upon his return to the pitch after recovering from a hamstring injury.
It was a quiet day for top goalscorer Mohamed Salah who for only the second time in the Premier League season failed to register a shot on target; the first game was against Fulham at home.

The scouser was also responsible for Fulham’s equaliser, failing to deal with Timothy Castagne’s cross and gifting an easy finish to Ryan Sessegnon.
Ibrahima Konaté – 4
Ibou is known for his aggression, his speed and his assurance on the ball but looked lost in the Liverpool defence against Fulham.
He failed to deal with Alex Iwobi for Fulham’s second and was just another cog in Liverpool’s poor defensive display.
Virgil van Dijk – 5
The Liverpool captain certainly didn’t put in a performance that we know he can and certainly could have done better to follow Ryan Sessegnon for Fulham’s first but most likely wasn’t expecting Curtis Jones to knock the ball back into the six-yard box.
The Scotland captain completely misplaced a pass to Curtis Jones for Fulham’s second goal and in an attempt to recover, saw the ball deflect off his chest and past Caoimhin Kelleher.
Ryan Gravenberch – 5
Gravenberch started the game well, assisting Mac Allister for Liverpool’s first goal but didn’t do anything notable for the rest of the game.
Virtually no involvement, an extremely quiet and uncharacteristic performance from Gakpo.
Subs
Harvey Elliot – 6
The youngster injected pace and energy into the game when he replaced a lacklustre Dominik Szoboszlai and almost grabbed a goal for the Reds, cannoning his effort off the crossbar.
Darwin Nunez – 5
Not much to say about Darwin’s performance, offered something a little different up top.
Conor Bradley – 7
Bradley picked up where he left off before his injury; his direct play and powerful runs provided Luis Diaz with the chance for Liverpool’s second.
