Defending champions Liverpool suffered their sixth consecutive home stadium defeat in the Premier League, after losing 1-0 to Fulham, who are threatened with relegation thanks to a first-half goal scored by Mario Lemena in Anfield on Sunday.

 

This loss extends Liverpool's record in the number of consecutive defeats at home, as it is the first time since the 1953-1954 season that the team has lost so many matches at Anfield in a league season.

 

Liverpool remain seventh with 43 points, four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, but Liverpool have played more games.

Fulham are 18th with 26 points from 28 games, and are 17th behind Brighton on goal difference.

 

Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp made seven changes to the squad that lost 1-0 to Chelsea last Thursday, to no avail, as Lemina snatched the ball from Mohamed Salah, who was late in dispersing it at the border of the penalty area, before he fired it into the net in the 45th minute. .

 

Liverpool was lucky when a dangerous opportunity arose for Sadio Mane, who escaped censorship, but wasted it in the 80th minute.

The hostess had the lion’s share of possession, but he failed again to convert control into chances for scoring after the Fulham defense dominated, leaving Coach Scott Parker's team with three precious points in the battle to avoid relegation.

 

Parker told Sky Sports, "In the second half, we were not planning things to go like this, but the team showed its personality, flexibility and toughness." I am very proud of my team today. ”
