With a thrilling victory over Fulham on Sunday, Liverpool retained their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold scored in the last seconds to help the Reds come from behind to win 4-3 after an earlier Bernd Leno own goal and an Alex Mac Allister screamer. Jurgen Klopp’s team have now climbed up to second place and have only lost one of their past 25 Premier League games.

But there was a lot that went unseen or beneath the radar at Anfield over the 90 minutes (and plenty of injury time).

Kostas grab

It was impossible to keep up with all that happened throughout an action-packed encounter. The climax came with Alexander-Arnold’s winning strike, which caused a commotion in the fans and a series of knee slides towards the corner flag.

The Liverpool players celebrated loudly in front of the Kop, with Kostas Tsimikas seizing a nearby steward with both hands and shaking him fiercely.

After the first shock, the Anfield employee’s smiles at being involved in such a famous moment suggest he didn’t mind so much.

Nunez sprint

Given how hard Liverpool had worked for much of the second half, the joy at the late turnaround was unrestrained.

Those troubles were probably best illustrated by Darwin Nunez’s performance, who, despite not having his finest game, continued pushing away and eventually played a key role in the build-up to the final two goals.

Instead of celebrating with his teammates in front of the Kop, Nunez belted it to the dugout, where he embraced first Dominik Szoboszlai, then Jurgen Klopp. Darwin enjoys doing things differently.

Klopp irate

The game, however, had not yet concluded. And with more than seven minutes added to the first half’s 12 minutes, there was still plenty of time for more hijinks.

And one such occasion occurred during injury time, when a skirmish for control between Ibrahima Konate and Carlos Vinicius resulted in Fulham being granted a throw-in contentiously.

If Konate raising his arms indicated that the Frenchman was questioning the decision, Klopp’s reaction on the touchline, leaping up and down manically and gesticulating wildly in the direction of just about everyone who would listen, implies that the Reds boss couldn’t believe it.

Salah intent

There was an interesting period of play earlier in the first half as Liverpool searched for a second goal. Following Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno’s clearance into touch, the Reds were looking for a quick restart from the resulting throw-in.

However, seconds later, the original ball booted into the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand returned on the pitch, rebounding towards Mohamed Salah, causing bewilderment among players.

Salah, on the other hand, was so focused that he was able to gain control of both footballs. Anyone who has ever wondered what differentiates decent players from great ones now has an answer.
