How the national media reacted to Liverpool's 2-0 win against Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday eveningA step in the right direction. Liverpool rekindled hopes of Champions League qualification when they defeated Fulham 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday evening at Anfield.Teenage winger Rio Ngumoha scored the opener and then had a hand in the second for Mohamed Salah as the Reds strengthened their grip on fifth place.It made for an encouraging 90 minutes amid the gloom this season.

All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pagePaul Joyce, formerly of this parish, wrote in The Times about how the game showed times are a-changing for Liverpool."With every passing week a different legend, whether it is Mohamed Salah or Andrew Robertson, appears to be confirming the end of an era at Liverpool," he pens."The consolation here was that at least one member of the next generation stood up to offer promise for the future. On Salah’s first appearance at Anfield since he announced his departure, he was serenaded almost from the off – Andy Robertson, another of Jurgen Klopp’s great team who is heading for the exit, was hailed first – and the Egyptian king earned a further rendition of his song with his 256th Liverpool goal.

Ngumoha’s was just his second. "But make no mistake, this 2-0 win over Fulham provided enough evidence to suggest that Liverpool are entering a brand new era later this year."If Salah registering his 256th goal in trademark style was a perfect way to mark his first Anfield appearance since announcing he will leave at the end of the season, there was also the hearty celebration of Andy Robertson, who too confirmed this week that these are his own final knockings."And with Alisson Becker and his creaking muscles resting up on the sideline, Giorgi Mamardashvili's appearance in goal was another nod to the future.
