Liverpool discovered their shooting boots by the Thames and, in doing so, kept the three-way title race alive.

Within three minutes it was clear things might not be so simple: Luiz Díaz should probably have scored, or left the ball for a better placed Cody Gakpo, after attacking Alexander-Arnold’s cross but his header skidded wide and Fulham were allowed to consolidate.

The hosts could operate with freedom, comfortably safe but knowing a positive result would help their chances of at least matching last season’s 10th place.



Perhaps a fully match-fit Jota, starting for the first time since sustaining a knee injury at Brentford two months ago, would have converted.

There were jeers from the crowd when Harvey Elliott, reminded of his Fulham past at every opportunity, tried to outfox the wall with a low free-kick but saw a tame attempt blocked.

Jota blasted at Leno from close range on the hour after an extensive spell of pressure; then Gakpo, who had come alive, squandered a strong run by finishing weakly.

For the first time all afternoon they were in complete control, Fulham reduced to hacking and slicing their way out of trouble.

Calvin Bassey almost steered into his own net before Gakpo again tested Leno.

It was Gakpo who, via a ricochet off Adarabioyo, could slide through for Jota to slip a low shot past Leno from an angle on the left.
