EPL MD 12: Reds blocked from climbing top after frustrating challenge; Fulham 1 -1 Liverpool
Mohamed Salah scored his ninth goal of the season.
Liverpool failed to captalized on Spurs dropping points to climb to the top of the table in front of a roaring 2,000 fans.
The Reds continued with their disfavored away league record this season and drew 1-1 with Fulham at Craven Cottage, dropping 11 points far from home in the current season.
A fantastic performance, credit to the lads.
