Alexis Mac Allister: Liverpool suffered their second defeat of the Premier League season with a surprising 3-2 loss at Fulham on Sunday. Chelsea and Brentford battled it out for a goalless draw in the London derby while North London side Tottenham Hotspur registered a 3-1 victory over Southampton which confirmed the Saints’ demotion to the Championship, making it the earliest a team has ever been relegated from the Premier League.

Alexis Mac Allister had given the Reds a promising start with a stunning 20-yard strike in the 12th minute, but Fulham quickly fought back. Ryan Sessegnon’s equaliser in the 23rd minute was followed by goals from Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz, putting the hosts 3-1 ahead before halftime. Although Luis Diaz's second-half finish gave Liverpool hope, they could not find an equaliser, marking their first away loss of the season.

Despite a strong push, including a near-equaliser from Harvey Elliott that hit the crossbar, Liverpool were unable to recover. Fulham’s defense, led by goalkeeper Bernd Leno, held firm, and the Reds were left to rue missed chances. Liverpool remains top of the table but with only a slim margin of 11 points with seven matches remaining.
