GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! NUNEZ LEVELS FOR LIVERPOOL!!!!! 1-1!!! The Uruguayan makes a decisive impact on his Premier League debut as he succeeds with a flick the second time he asks.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! MITROVIC CONVERTS!!!! 2-1 FULHAM!!!!!! The Cottagers restore their advantage as the Serbia international holds his nerve from 12 yards. Mitrovic fires low and hard on his right foot into the bottom-right corner, away from the dive of Alisson.
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! SALAH LEVELS AGAIN FOR LIVERPOOL!!!! 2-2!!!!! The Reds have a second equaliser with a scrappy goal as Salah converts after a scramble in the box.
