Liverpool had twice led in a thrilling match on Merseyside.

But looked set to lose at home for the first time since February when Bobby De Cordova-Reid put Fulham ahead in the 80th minute.

That was until Endo sparked the comeback seven minutes later.

And Alexander-Arnold hit the winner soon after to extend the Merseyside team’s 100 percent winning home record this season.

The result moves Liverpool to within two points of leaders Arsenal.

Liverpool had taken the lead in the 20th minute through an own goal from Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno after Alexander-Arnold’s long-range 25-yard free kick.

Fulham evened the score four minutes later when former Liverpool player Harry Wilson squeezed a near-post shot under keeper Caoimhin Kelleher from Antonee Robinson\s cross.

The home team retook the lead in brilliant fashion as Alexis Mac Allister drove a shot into the top corner in the 38th minute.

And Darwin Nunez smashed a shot against the crossbar in the second half as Liverpool went close.

But it was Fulham who went ahead when substitute De Cordova-Reid out-jumped Kostas Tsimikas at the far post.

Endo then had a header saved and Salah fired the rebound over.
