Trent’s free-kick was unbelievable. Macca (Mac Allister) before the game, you could see his foot is right today.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his feelings following his side’s exceptional comeback win against Fulham at Anfield on Sunday, December 4. The Reds secured a 4-3 win at the expense of the Cottagers in a game that could go down in the record books of the Premier League.Trent Alexander-Arnold’s free kick was turned by Bernd Leno off the woodwork to give Liverpool the lead, but former Red Harry Wilson pegged one back in four minutes. The Merseysiders again took the lead, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring an absolute stunner, but Fulham again came back with Kenny Tete’s goal.
Klopp also hailed the impact Waturu Endo made after coming on as a late substitute and eventually scoring the equaliser:
“Honestly, for whatever reason, I didn’t see that ball go in, I was probably turning at that moment. I haven’t watched it back, but all of them were pretty special.”
“He was a real leader on the pitch – that was the most important. That’s probably the biggest improvement (since last season). It was super intense, but he got another push when we put him a bit more inside in that moment.”
Following their win against Fulham, the Reds remain second in the points table, two points behind Arsenal. Manchester City trail them by one point after a 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
