Ryan Gravenberch lauded after ‘flawless’ Liverpool display at centre-back

Liverpool endured one of their most challenging results of the season, settling for a 2-2 draw against Fulham at Anfield.

Reduced to 10 men for most of the game after Andy Robertson’s early red card, the Reds twice came from behind to rescue a point against the resilient west London side.

 

 

Despite Arsenal dropping points against Everton, Liverpool avoided major damage in the title race. However, Chelsea now have the chance to cut Liverpool’s lead in the Premier League table to just two points if they secure a win over Brentford later tonight.

 

Amid the drama, Steve Nicol expressed admiration for one Liverpool player who stood out in this tense encounter.

With Arne Slot also amazed by what he saw from Gravenbech playing as a centre-back for Liverpool, the former Bayern Munich man more than impressed in a completely new position for the Reds, with the Anfield side managing to come away with a point against a talented Fulham side.

And Nicol was taken aback by how good the central midfielder was in defence for Liverpool, with the pundit lauding the Dutch youngster as a ‘revelation’ for the Reds having impressed for the majority of the year under Slot.
