Gravenberch and Jota keep Liverpool in title race with victory at Fulham

The hosts could operate with freedom, comfortably safe but knowing a positive result would help their chances of at least matching last season’s 10th place. Alex Iwobi, presumably being cheered by his previous employers Arsenal and Everton for different reasons, caused brief alarm with a diagonal run but misplaced his pass.

He used up any good fortune within moments. This time Palhinha felled Jota in an even more promising position left of the “D”, earning a yellow card. It was immediately clear Alexander-Arnold would take charge now: a chance from this range is virtually a penalty kick for him. Right on cue his finish was whipped, curled and dipped beyond Bernd Leno’s dive for a picture book end to Liverpool’s recent drought.

How would Liverpool respond? Elliott had the chance to silence his detractors five minutes after the interval but, to a predictable response, scraped well wide. But Gravenberch went one better from their next serious attack and the finish was a peach. Iwobi had to take a degree of blame, his overambitious cross field pass being cut out by Elliott and recycled into the midfielder’s path.
