10-man Liverpool holds on for 2-2 draw with Fulham, Arsenal misses chance to close gap

Liverpool's Dramatic Draw: A Tale of Resilience Premier League leader Liverpool showcased remarkable resilience by twice coming from behind with 10 men to secure a 2-2 draw against Fulham on Saturday. Despite the draw, Liverpool dropped points for the second consecutive match, giving hope to its title rivals. Arsenal's Missed Opportunity Third-placed Arsenal failed to take advantage of Liverpool's slip-up. A 0-0 draw at home to Everton left Arsenal still six points behind Liverpool, marking a significant missed opportunity for the Gunners. Match Highlights: Liverpool vs. Fulham Liverpool's Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez were the heroes of the match. Jota equalized in the 86th minute with a stunning finish from the edge of the area, following Nunez's pass. Earlier, Cody Gakpo had leveled the score just after halftime with a header from Mohamed Salah's cross, marking Salah's 100th assist for Liverpool in all competitions. Fulham initially took the lead through Andreas Pereira's 11th-minute volley, which deflected off Andy Robertson, who was sent off six minutes later for denying a goal-scoring opportunity. Rodrigo Muniz put Fulham ahead again in the 76th minute, only for Jota to equalize once more. Liverpool's Recent Form Liverpool drew 3-3 at Newcastle in their last league game, continuing their trend of dropping points. Despite the challenges, Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his players' efforts, stating, "I don’t think I could’ve asked for more from my players." Arsenal's Struggles Arsenal has also drawn two games in a row, following a 1-1 draw at Fulham last weekend. The Gunners have not scored from open play in their last three league matches, adding to their frustrations. Title Race Implications Second-placed Chelsea has a chance to move within two points of Liverpool with a win against Brentford on Sunday. Wolverhampton's Struggles Continue Wolverhampton manager Gary O’Neil is under pressure after a damaging defeat to Ipswich. Ipswich secured a 2-1 victory thanks to Jack Taylor's late winner. O’Neil has led Wolves to only two victories in the league this season, and three since March. Van Nistelrooy's First Loss Ruud van Nistelrooy faced his first defeat as Leicester manager, with the team being thrashed 4-0 by Newcastle. Jacob Murphy scored twice, and Alexander Isak netted his seventh goal of the campaign. Wonder Save by Emi Martinez Emi Martinez's wonder save for Aston Villa was in vain as Nottingham Forest secured a 2-1 win. Martinez's incredible save kept Villa ahead for a brief period before Nikola Milenković and Anthony Elanga scored in the final minutes. Forest Climbs the Table Forest moved up to fourth place above Manchester City, which hosts Manchester United in the derby on Sunday.
