Livepool 3-2 Fulham: Gerrard penalty

Liverpool went away to game against Fulham. The first half, Kolo Toure scored an own goal, Sturridge scored to tie the ball; second half, Richardsonthe scored for Fulham. Then Kudiniao equalized again. Gerrard scored the lore penalty goal in the stoppage time. Reds 3-2 final opponents.

There were times when Brendan Rodgers, sheltering from the ferocious wind under the lipped roof of the dugout, might have accepted a point for his team's endeavours. They had trailed twice, undermined by the slapdash efforts of their centre-halves, only to rally and force parity. Then, with 17 seconds to play and Tottenham Hotspur breathing down their necks after a saunter on distant Tyneside, Sascha Riether felled Daniel Sturridge in the area and Liverpool had their opportunity. Steven Gerrard, his own display of strength rarely eclipsed at any point, was never going to fluff his lines at the penalty.

“I’m certain, in the first four or five months I was here, we’d have lost that game,” said manager Brendan Rodgers. “That’s something I’ve been trying to build since I’ve been here: now we know we can go to any ground and get goals. The goals got us the three points tonight, rather than our defending.”

The lead lasted just nine minutes, however, as Coutinho cut in from the right before angling a 20-yard drive into the far corner with his left foot.

And there was still time for one last twist as Riether felled Sturridge in the area in the 90th minute, and Gerrard fired into the left-hand corner to secure all three points.
