Liverpool's 26-Game Unbeaten Run Ends in 3-2 Loss at Fulham

Liverpool's manager Arne Slot expressed disappointment after his team suffered a 3-2 defeat to Fulham, marking the end of their 26-match unbeaten league run. Despite taking an early lead through Alexis Mac Allister, defensive errors led to three goals from Fulham within a 15-minute span in the first half. Slot emphasized that the mistakes made were uncharacteristic and preventable, particularly criticizing the performances of key defenders. Although Luis Diaz scored late to narrow the deficit, Liverpool could not find an equalizer, failing to capitalize on Arsenal's draw earlier in the weekend. The loss leaves Liverpool 11 points ahead in the league with seven matches to go, but it raised concerns about their defensive solidity. Slot stated that the team must learn from this defeat as they prepare for their next match against West Ham.
