Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admitted his side got lucky against Fulham.

The Whites were beaten 2-0 at Anfield, where Mohamed Salah scored the all-important first goal seconds after Fulham had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside.

Before that, Liverpool had another left-off when Ryan Sessegnon missed a great chance to put Fulham ahead.

“I don’t want to compare it but we scored a clearer goal against Arsenal which we didn’t get,” said Klopp

“It is very important you have these situations in your locker that you can use it.

“In the end we were a bit lucky and maybe it is not 100 per cent offside. We cannot change it, Fulham cannot change it.

“Apart from scoring more goals it was a really good performance. Fulham always have the quality to cause problems. We had to work hard, we won it. All good.”

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic said his club were shown “disrespect” by the key decision going against them.
