Harrison Reed produced a goal-of-the-season contender in the 97th minute to earn Fulham a thrilling 2-2 draw against Liverpool, just when the defending champions thought they had stolen victory at Craven Cottage. Cody Gakpo had bundled Liverpool in front in the fourth minute of added time, whipping off his shirt and racing towards the away end in celebration, only for Reed to answer with a stunning strike that ripped into the top corner from long range.
That extraordinary finale capped a night already rich in drama. Harry Wilson had earlier scored against his former club to give Fulham a first-half lead, before Florian Wirtz levelled close to the hour after a weaving run and pass from Conor Bradley. Both of those goals required lengthy VAR checks for tight offsides, adding controversy and tension to a contest that swung repeatedly in momentum.
The draw extends Liverpool's unbeaten run to nine Premier League matches but represents a missed chance to tighten their grip on fourth place after another late concession. Fulham, unbeaten in their past five, could justifiably feel they earned their point, matching the champions' quality with organisation, resilience and another dramatic late intervention in front of an ecstatic home crowd. All this came after kick-off had been delayed by 15 minutes due to a medical emergency involving a member of Fulham's matchday staff, who was taken to hospital.
