Liverpool drew 2-2 with Fulham in a dramatic Premier League match, with Harrison Reed scoring a late equaliser for Fulham.
Manager Arne Slot revealed Hugo Ekitike missed the game due to a minor issue, further depleting Liverpool's attacking options alongside Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.
Liverpool's attack appeared subdued, failing to register a shot on target in the first half.
Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo scored for Liverpool, but Harry Wilson had given Fulham the lead before Reed's stoppage-time strike.
Slot expressed frustration with his team's tendency to concede late goals, while Fulham boss Marco Silva felt his side deserved to win.
