Liverpool broke a three-game losing streak and relieved pressure on Arne Slot with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday. 

Rio Ngumoha became Liverpool’s youngest Premier League striker at Anfield, scoring at the age of 17 years and 225 days.

His beautiful strike was followed by a Mohamed Salah classic minutes later to double the advantage, the Egyptian’s second Premier League goal since November.

Liverpool had conceded two or more goals 18 times in the final 20 minutes of Premier League games this season but despite shipping 19 shots and nine corners, managed this game without a major scare as they now look to reverse a 2-0 deficit to PSG in the Champions League.

The victory gives Liverpool an edge in the hunt for the final Champions League position.
