Leaders Liverpool saw their 26-match unbeaten Premier League run ended as they threw away the lead and suffered their second defeat of the season as Fulham fought back to claim a narrow 3-2 victory at Craven Cottage.

Arne Slot's men failed to capitalise on Arsenal’s dropped points at Goodison Park in the previous 24 hours, on a day where Alexis Mac Allister scored a goal-of-the-season contender to put Liverpool ahead.

The goal started through towering defensive-midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who used his tall frame to beat his man to the loose ball, allowing Mac Allister to drive forward and pick out the top left-hand corner from distance with a slammed finish past Bernd Leno.

Once Sander Berge dropped a shoulder to beat Liverpool’s press and played the ball wide, a whipped cross into the area was headed away by Konate and into the path of Sessegnon, who teed up the ball on the full and volleyed his effort inside the near post.

The away side had shown signs of slowing down in recent weeks and that was noticeable here with loose passes when dealing with Fulham’s high pressure being a common theme in the build-up to the hosts’ second.

Five minutes after Iwobi’s strike in the 37th-minute, Reds skipper and the usually-reliable Virgil van Dijk’s lapse of concentration from a high ball allowed Muniz to pounce, nip in front of him and nutmeg Kelleher with a poacher’s finish inside the area.

But Mohamed Salah’s skied effort from close range and Curtis Jones rattling the crossbar in the 79th minute was as close as Liverpool came on a day where they fell short.
