It was a pulsating game of football, and Liverpool showed superb character to come back from a goal behind twice to equalise and then win it in injury time.
A Kolo Toure own goal had given the home side a surprise lead as early as the eighth minute. The Irvorian international indadvertedly sliced a low Kieron Richardson cross into his own net past Simon Mignolet.
With the Reds looking flat, an inch-perfect through-ball down Fulham’s throat was latched onto by Daniel Sturridge, who scored a precious equaliser just before half time.
More sloppy defending from Liverpool let the Cottagers back into the game, when Richardson smashed home from close range, taking advantage of a defensive mix-up between Martin Skrtel and Jon Flanagan.
After Saturday’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Arsenal, it looked like Liverpool’s away hangover would catch them out again.
That was until Philippe Coutinho‘s low shot from the edge of the area rolled in past goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, who minutes later was replaced by David Stockdale due to injury.
Liverpool upped the tempo and went looking for a late winner — which came in the form of a bravely taken Gerrard penalty in the first minute of injury time after Sturridge was tripped by Sascha Riether.
Thea way support went crazy for the massive result, which leaves Liverpool just four points off the top of the Premier League with 12 games to go. Could it be?
