Though Liverpool is still going to win the Premier League title at a canter, Arne Slot won't have been pleased with what he described as a 15-minute window of "madness" in the first half against Fulham.

Ahead of what will be a big summer for Liverpool, the Reds looked all over the place at the back in the first 45 minutes at Craven Cottage.

That said it all as Liverpool struggled to get to grips with a Fulham attack that has caused it problems before.

Konate should have done better when Ryan Sessegnon scored too, with his header falling inside the penalty area.

Whatever he and the rest of the Liverpool defense did for a short spell in the first period of the game seemed to lead to a chance — and Fulham could have led by more than 3-1 by the interval.

"Fulham were brilliant going forward but Liverpool were defensively very poor," Shay Given said on Match of the Day 2

On social media, Van Dijk shared a candid assessment in the aftermath of the game, stating on Instagram: "A lot of work still to do, as we all saw." By the time West Ham United comes to Anfield next weekend, Liverpool — particularly defensively — will want to put a few things right.
