Fulham v Liverpool Live: Late Drama as Harrison Reed’s Stunning Goal Denies Reds a Win in Premier League

In a thrilling Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage on January 4, 2026, Fulham and Liverpool played out a dramatic 2-2 draw, with Harrison Reed's stunning stoppage-time equalizer denying the Reds victory.[1][3]

The match kicked off with Liverpool asserting early dominance. Just minutes in, Florian Wirtz had a right-footed shot from outside the box blocked at the 6-minute mark, followed by a corner after Cody Gakpo's effort from the centre of the box was also thwarted at the 5th minute. Liverpool, sitting 4th in the table with 10 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses from 19 games (33 points), looked poised to climb higher against a 12th-placed Fulham side (8-3-8, 27 points).[1][2]

As the game progressed into the second half, Liverpool broke the deadlock through Cody Gakpo, who found the net to give the visitors the lead. Florian Wirtz also scored, putting the Reds 2-0 up and seemingly securing the points. Fulham, however, mounted a remarkable comeback in stoppage time. Two goals in the dying moments leveled the score at 2-2, with midfielder Harrison Reed delivering the decisive blow—a stunning strike that sparked wild celebrations among the home fans.[3]

The result leaves Liverpool frustrated, dropping points in their title chase behind leaders Arsenal (48 points from 20 games) and Aston Villa (42 points). Fulham's resilience boosts their mid-table standing, ending a poor recent head-to-head record where they'd won just once in the last 15 meetings before this.[1][4] Arne Slot's side now eyes January transfers to bolster the squad amid the tight race.[1]
