Diogo Jota made a sensational comeback, scoring a late equalizer to help Liverpool secure a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Fulham at Anfield.
The Reds played most of the match with 10 men after Andy Robertson was sent off in the 17th minute for denying Harry Wilson a clear scoring opportunity.
Andreas Pereira gave Fulham the lead in the first half, but Cody Gakpo’s equalizer shortly after the break kept Liverpool in the game.
Substitute Rodrigo Muniz put Fulham ahead again in the 76th minute, but Jota’s dramatic strike four minutes from time salvaged a point for the home side.
