Silva Bemoans Lack of 'Aggression' at Anfield After Fulham Loss to Liverpool
Teenager Rio Ngumoha scored on his Anfield debut, and Mohamed Salah added a quick second as Liverpool ended a three-game losing streak.
On Saturday at Anfield, Liverpool ended a three-game losing streak by defeating Fulham 2-0, with 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha scoring his first goal for the club.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot, facing pressure after recent losses to Manchester City, started Ngumoha and justified the decision by citing the teenager's 'special quality' in one-on-one situations.
Ngumoha opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a curling strike, and Mohamed Salah doubled the lead four minutes later to secure Liverpool's dominant first half.
Fulham manager Marco Silva lamented his team's lack of aggression, saying 'the game was decided in five minutes,' while Liverpool now face a Champions League return leg against PSG on Tuesday.
The victory keeps Liverpool fifth in the Premier League, providing vital momentum ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with PSG to overturn a 2-0 deficit.
