Jurgen Klopp accepted his Liverpool side got a bit lucky after a controversial offside flag denied Fulham the lead in their 2-0 defeat at Anfield yesterday. Under-pressure Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic hit out at what he described as an absurd situation after Aleksandar Mitrovic appeared to have headed the bottom-of-the-table visitors into the lead five minutes before the break.

Quick reaction
Celebrations were cut short by the offside flag, however, and a quick restart from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson allowed Trent Alexander-Arnold to play in Mohamed Salah for his eighth goal of the season and his 34th in his last 36 games at Anfield. Just 14 seconds separated the flag and the Liverpool opener and when Xherdan Shaqiri stretched the lead with a delightful volley eight minutes into the second half the game was beyond the visitors.
