Klopp's Liverpool go above Arsenal and put pressure on Manchester City in Premier League title race
Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota saw Liverpool move up to second in the league
Liverpool have not said their last word in the Premier League title race as goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota saw them expel the anxieties of the Crystal Palace loss in a 3-1 win against Fulham, with Timothy Castagne denying Allison a cleansheet.

In the 45+2nd minute, Alex Iwobi headed back to Muniz, whose shot was blocked as Liverpool threw bodies on the line. Unfortunately for Allison, between the sticks, it fell to Castagne around the penalty spot and the right-back fired low into the far corner to level the game.
But Liverpool passed the mentality test with flying colors when Gravenberch restored the lead just eight minutes into the second half.
A poor cross-field pass was cut out by Harvey Elliot, returning to the club who gave him his debut, and he passed to the Dutchman close to the box D. He then took one touch and sublimely curled into the top corner, with the goalkeeper once again having no chance.
