Liverpool vs Fulham: Seven things you MISSED including incredible Mo Salah landmark

Liverpool were held 2-2 by Fulham at Anfield in the Premier League. Here are the seven things you might have missed.

The draw means the Reds have dropped points in four of their games this season, backing up their 3-3 draw against Newcastle.

They remain five points ahead of Chelsea, after having played the same amount of games, although the Blues will play against Brentford, where they could close the gap to two points - but Liverpool would then have a game in hand.

Meanwhile, Arsenal dropped points to Everton by drawing 0-0 at the Emirates, which may help Slot come to terms with today's result, as their direct rivals for the Premier League title were also held.

Here's what you might have missed.

Robertson's replacement outshines him

After suffering an injury scare in the opening minutes of the game, coming from a late challenge by Issa Diop, Andy Robertson quickly managed to shake it off and carry on.

However, after 11 minutes, Fulham managed to score the game's opener, after Alex Iwobi slotted Antonnee Robinson in down the right-hand side. Managing to get past Trent Alexander-Arnold, Robinson sends a cross in which Andreas Pereira volleys into the net from close range. Robertson was marking the midfielder but he was left waiting as the ball snuck in Alisson's near post.

Subsequently, Fulham went on to attack the game with added ferocity, and after a 'last-man' tackle from Robertson, the Reds' left-back was dismissed with a straight red card, to cap off a disastrous opening 20 minutes for the Scottish captain. Per Opta, he is the only Liverpool player to be sent off twice since he arrived at the club in 2017.

Due to the nature of the challenge, Robertson will be given a one-game ban. However, the FA rules enable red card suspensions to be carried over to domestic cup competitions, so while he will miss the Reds Southampton (A) clash on Wednesday in the EFL Cup, he will be available for Liverpool's Premier League visit to Tottenham on December 22.

Although Liverpool managed to bring the game level, Robinson then set up Fulham's winner in the 78th minute, which came from Rodrigo Muniz. It was his 12th assist since the start of last season, and according to Opta, that is the most goals created by a defender in that time.

Liverpool fans claim refereeing inconsistency

While there were little to no complaints about the challenge that resulted in Robertson's red card, fans were left bemused by the referee's lack of consistency regarding two challenges from Fulham that looked equally as dangerous as the foul that Robertson committed.

The first challenge of contention is the foul on Robertson in the opening minutes of the game. Diop ends up clipping his knee cap and the referee belatedly gives the Fulham player a yellow card.

The second challenge however, comes from Pereira, who ended up scoring Fulham's opener - which, as you'd expect, is the one that fans are most furious about. The Cottagers captain challenges Gravenberch and the foul is cynical, as the Dutchman was running away with the ball.

Former referee Mike Dean claimed that it was 100% a red card when covering the afternoon's Premier League refereeing decisions on Sky Sports.

In the end, moments can change matches and rightly or wrongly, the referee made his choice.

What did you think of the decisions?

Slot's tactical change after Robertson's red

Instead of making a substitution and bringing off one of Liverpool's more attacking players, Slot decided to change the team tactically.

Trent was charged with defending his side of the pitch while getting on the ball that bit more in order to get the team out of a hole, Joe Gomez was moved to right-back in order to cover Robertson's absence, even attacking just as frequently as the Scotsman had done.

Van Dijk remained at the heart of the defence, and rather than bring on Jarrell Quansah, Slot moved Gravenberch to a slightly more deep-lying role.

All of the players remained fluid in their positions, creating an enormous hole at the back when the team attacked up the pitch, but the risk was deemed worthwhile rather than allowing Fulham to sit in while the Reds defended their own box.

Cody Gakpo's scoring streak continues

While Luis Diaz's form has been on and off in recent weeks, Gakpo has been on fire.

His equaliser for the Reds was his seventh goal in his last nine appearances at Anfield across all competitions.

That run includes two goals against West Ham, two goals against Brighton, one against Leverkusen, one against Real Madrid, one against Manchester City, and now one against Fulham.

Across the season as a whole, he now has nine goals and two assists in all competitions from 23 appearances.

Mo Salah reaches assist landmark

While Salah's goalscoring is what he is traditionally known for, he has also been prolific in creating goals as well.

In setting up Gakpo's equaliser, Salah notched his 100th assist in all competitions, which is a remarkable effort. Per Opta, only three players have more assists since the Egyptian made his Liverpool debut in 2017.

He is also now just one goal contribution away from 30 for the campaign (16 goals, 13 assists).

Liverpool's talisman in attack is breaking records week by week nowadays.

Arne Slot set for touchline ban

After picking up the ball during the game, Slot was given a yellow card by referee Tony Harrington.

This means that the Dutchman has reached his three yellow cards for the season, and that requires a one-game touchline ban according to new rules implemented by the Premier League last season.

He will have to manage from the stands when Liverpool play against Southampton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, and he might be joined in the director's box by Robertson, who will have to also serve a one-game ban after he was shown a red card for a last man challenge during the game.

Elliott and Jota return from injury

After being sidelined for a few months each with lingering injury problems, Arne Slot brought Elliott and Jota on in the second half.

There were two notable absences for Slot to deal with and after just seven minutes, Jota was able to show what he can do, rescuing Liverpool a point by equalising the game in the 86th minute.

After Darwin Nunez's struggles in front of goal, it will be a sigh of relief for Liverpool to see a goal come from one of their strikers.
