Summary

Liverpool faced a frustrating 0-0 draw against Fulham at Anfield, marking Fulham's first point of the Premier League season. The match saw Liverpool fielding Bradley Barcola for his first Premier League start, yet they struggled to find rhythm after their recent match against Atletico Madrid.

The first half featured a near-miss for Liverpool when Victor Munoz struck the crossbar from a corner taken by Kostas Tsimikas. Fulham, despite their poor form, gained momentum and nearly capitalized on a mistake from Alisson, with Goncalo Garcia being denied by Jeremy Jacquet.

In the second half, Fulham appeared more threatening, as Josh King forced a save from Alisson, tipping the ball wide. Rodrigo Muniz squandered a golden opportunity, failing to control a pass from Kevin when through on goal. At the other end, Alexander Isak glanced a header wide in stoppage time, leaving both teams without a goal.
