Young talent Curtis Jones had an extremely excellent match against Fulham and was the main factor helping Liverpool successfully come back.
Fulham showed that they are an extremely uncomfortable team when competing with the big guys, despite having to go to Anfield to play football.
Everything became more favorable for the away team’s counter-attacking defense when they soon took the lead in the first half.
However, as usual, Liverpool played well once the second half began.
Curtis Jones, who proved why he is trusted by coach Jurgen Klopp today, scored the equalizer in the 68th minute.
Statistics from Sofascore show that Curtis Jones is Liverpool’s highest scoring player this morning (7.6 points). In addition to goals, he also possesses an amazing passing accuracy rate. Specifically, Jones only failed one pass in 48 passes. In addition, this player also had 74 touches of the ball and launched 3 shots on target.
Cody Gakpo entered the field in the second half and was also a bright spot for The Kop, alongside Jones.
It must also be said that Liverpool could have solved the match early if goalkeeper Bernd Leno had not played so well. Leno had 5 saves this morning.
Liverpool’s bravery showed at the right time.
It must also be said that Klopp’s trust in young players has brought sweet fruit to Liverpool.
However, a slim one-goal gap is still not safe enough for Liverpool in the second leg.
