When Jota struck, 22 of Liverpool’s last 25 goals had come in second halves.

His capacity to work with and, at times, reinvent, Klopp’s players was given a further examination when Robertson departed which, with Kostas Tsimikas injured, left Liverpool without a natural left-back.
Fulham have a potency, as they showed by scoring for a 15th consecutive league game, and Liverpool conceded for the first time in 447 minutes at Anfield, Fulham succeeding where the champions of England, Spain and Germany had failed by breaching their defence.
Pereira volleyed in Robinson’s deep cross, though it may have required the deflection off Robertson’s thigh to defeat Alisson.

The Scot’s afternoon was to deteriorate further.
When Robertson tripped him, the second red card of his Liverpool career followed.
Cody Gakpo initially assumed some of his duties, going to left wing-back.
After a second surge deep into Liverpool territory by Robinson, he crossed and Rodrigo Muniz’s low finish went in off Gomez.
