The Reds drew 2-2 against the newly-promoted side at Craven Cottage. Aleksandr Mitrovic opened the scoring in the game in the 32nd minute via a bullying header over Trent Alexander-Arnold. New signing Darwin Nunez leveled things in the 64th minute for the Merseysiders after coming off the bench. Mitrovic was then fouled in the box by Virgil van Dijk and converted the resulting penalty to give Fulham the lead again in the 72nd minute. Mohamed Salah then equalized for Jurgen Klopp's side in the 80th minute via a close-range finish. Firmino started the match for the Reds but was substituted by Nunez at the 50-minute mark. The 30-year-old Brazilian couldn't make much of an impact on the game. He didn't register any key passes or dribble attempts and neither did he have any shots on goal. He lost possession 11 times and won one ground duel out of just three attempts and did not attempt to give any crosses. Liverpool fans were disappointed with Firmino's performance and took to Twitter to share their reactions: Ustaz K@badman_khaleelHonestly wonder what Firmino does in training that allows him to start.1Honestly wonder what Firmino does in training that allows him to start.

He offers absolutely nothing31415Firmino is actually a joke. He offers absolutely nothing After this performance, one could expect Nunez to perhaps start over Firmino in future matches. The Reds signed the Uruguayan for a club-record deal worth £85 million and he has been prolific so far. The 23-year-old scored in their 3-1 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield on July 30. He also won a penalty in the game, which was converted by Salah. Some stats from Liverpool s draw against Fulham The Reds' opening day clash against the Cottagers saw some fantastic stats across the board. With the draw, Fulham are the first side to not lose against Liverpool on the opening day of the Premier League since 2017. Watford held the Reds to a 3-3 draw back then. Mitrovic became the first player to score two or more goals against the Merseysiders since February 2021. Ilkay Gundogan scored twice in a 4-1 victory for City back then. Klopp's side went into the break 0-1 down at Craven Cottage on Saturday. They were behind at half-time only once in the entire 2021-22 Premier League campaign. Salah has now scored in six consecutive opening Premier League gameweek fixtures, the first player ever to do so. Paul Merson predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool and other EPL GW 10 fixtures!
