Alvaro Arbeloa celebrated a hard-fought return to Anfield as Fulham held Liverpool to a frustrating goalless draw, providing the Cottagers with a much-needed morale boost. The former Reds defender saw his side execute a disciplined game plan to stifle a star-studded Liverpool attack that failed to find their rhythm throughout the afternoon.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola admitted his side lacked the necessary energy to break down a resilient Fulham on Saturday afternoon. The Reds were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at Anfield, leaving the Spanish coach still searching for his first home win in the Premier League.
The football world was rocked by reports suggesting Pep Guardiola could make a sensational return to the dugout to manage former rival Mohamed Salah in Turkey. Following the former Liverpool forward's move to Trabzonspor, speculation intensified that the Man City legend was the club's primary target to lead their new era of dominance.
