by Liverpool traveled to London for the 31st round of the Premier League, facing Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The start of the match for the Reds seemed promising, with Mac Allister putting the visitors ahead in the 14th minute with a long-range strike. But then the Cottagers took over, scoring 3 goals against Kelleher from the 23rd to the 37th minute. Slot’s defensive strategies are raising numerous questions, as this match marks the first time under his management in the Premier League that his team has conceded three goals in the first half.
Additionally, this is the first time since October 2020 that the Reds have conceded three times in the first half of a Premier League match (a 2-7 defeat to Aston Villa).
Previously, a similar scenario occurred in the Champions League at the end of January, where Liverpool lost 3-2 away to PSV, conceding exclusively in the first 45 minutes.
It should be noted that even with a loss, Liverpool would remain at the top of the table with an 11-point lead over Arsenal.
