Nunez & Salah to the rescue as Liverpool battered & bruised by Mitrovic in Fulham draw

  • Mitrovic stars to frustrate lacklustre Liverpool
  • Van Dijk out of sorts & concedes penalty
  • Nunez & Salah rescue a point

WHAT HAPPENED? Fulham were denied a shock win over Liverpool on the opening weekend of the Premier League season as two goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic were cancelled out by Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Fulham have every reason to celebrate after securing an unlikely point against Jurgen Klopp's side, with the German furious with the below-par Reds, who needed new signing Nunez to bail them out.

DID YOU KNOW? Mohamed Salah has scored on the opening day every single season he's been at Liverpool. Loves the first weekend of the season does Mo!

ALL EYES ON: It's all about that man Mitrovic. They said he couldn't cut it in the Premier League but he's gone some way to silencing those doubters in game one. What a man.

Come on then Jurgen, what happened?

WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL? The Reds are back in action next at Anfield on August 15, with Crystal Palace the visitors, and Klopp will be expecting a vastly improved performance from his troops. Sorry fellas, no hugs today!
