Liverpool vs Fulham as it happened - score, highlights, Klopp reaction, Willian, Jones and Gakpo goals
Liverpool staged a second-half turnaround to beat Fulham at Anfield in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie.
Jurgen Klopp's side fell behind after just 19 minutes when Willian fired past Caoimhin Kelleher. The goal was no more than the visitors deserved.
However, the Reds side hit back in the second-half. First, Curtis Jones reduced the arrears when his deflected shot beat Bernd Leno in the Fulham goal. Then, with 19 minutes of normal time remaining, Cody Gakpo, on as a second-half substitute, fired the Reds ahead.
Speaking after the match, Jurgen Klopp said: "It was super tough. First half we caused ourselves some problems. They were really compact defending and we had to change at half-time and the boys did really well."
