Fulham’s Festive Goals Flummox Reds…
Liverpool charged into Craven Cottage with more swagger than a peacock in football boots, but left licking their wounds like a wounded rubber chicken. Alexis Mac Allister turned into a long-range sniper early on, unleashing a cannonball that left Bernd Leno grasping air like a kid trying to catch soap. Yet, Fulham transformed into a goal-scoring circus: Ryan Sessegnon, Alex Iwobi, and Rodrigo Muniz all jugged for a hat-trick of havoc before half-time.
As the pressure cooker sizzled, Luis Diaz entered the scene like a salsa dancer at a polka party, bringing some joy with a nifty strike to light up Liverpool hopes. But alas, his teammates could no more find the net than a goldfish could juggle jelly beans. Harvey Elliott tried smashing the ball with the enthusiasm of a sugar-rushed toddler, but only managed to leave a dent on the crossbar and a grimace on Jurgen Klopp’s face.
Post-defeat, Arne Slot wore an expression grimmer than a wet kitten, bemoaning ‘preventable’ goals like a detective sifting through clues at a cake theft. With the title still in sight, the Liverpool boss promised they’d be back – and perhaps with giant-sized nets tied to their boots!
