The only consolation for Liverpool in the ruins of another Anfield defeat is that their next official home game is in Hungary. On Merseyside the Premier League champions have collapsed into uncharted territory, and new depths, with a sixth successive home loss cutting Jürgen Klopp’s team further adrift from the Champions League pack and galvanising Fulham’s prospects of survival.

A solitary roar on the final whistle from Scott Parker underlined the importance of victory to the visitors. Fulham moved level on points with Brighton courtesy of a confident first-half display, a fine first goal for the club from Mario Lemina and a resilient defensive performance in a second half that Liverpool dominated.
