Liverpool showed relentless determination in their pursuit of a late winner against Fulham on Saturday.
However, post-match footage suggests their approach may have cost them two crucial points in the race for their first Premier League title since the 2019/20 season.
Despite the draw, the Reds remain top of the table, holding a five-point lead over second-placed Chelsea as they prepare for their Carabao Cup clash with Southampton.
In more positive news, Arsenal’s home draw with Everton means Liverpool could potentially extend their lead to nine points if they win their game in hand.
It’s not all bad, but frustrations boiled over, with Mo Salah notably unhappy with Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.

You have to give Diogo Jota a pass for his point-salvaging goal against Fulham at the weekend.
Nonetheless, we can entirely understand why Mo Salah was left raging in extra-time as both the Portuguese international and Luis Diaz failed to spot him free in the box.
Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @CF_Compss (courtesy of Premier League Productions) showcases our No.11 crying out for the ball inside the six-yard box.
To be fair, it’s a pretty frustrating clip to look back on given that the Egyptian was in acres of space when our No.7 first receives the ball. There’s then a second opportunity for Jota to supply a potentially game-winning assist (albeit a somewhat tougher chance given the congestion in the box), but the ball is instead sent flying over the bar.
Salah reaches 100 milestone with Liverpool
On a more positive note, the former Roma hitman hit a significant milestone after setting up Cody Gakpo’s initial equaliser on Saturday.
The right winger now has 100 career assists for Liverpool Football Club. Remarkably, since his debut in 2017, only Kevin De Bruyne, Leo Messi and Thomas Muller have secured more assists across all competitions.
Yet further evidence Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, will point to should we see the club stumble in contract negotiations.
