Fulham secured their first Premier League point under head coach Andoni Iraola, holding a lacklustre Liverpool to a goalless draw at Anfield. Liverpool, fresh from their midweek Champions League win over Atlético Madrid, looked jaded and blunt in attack despite fielding an expensively assembled forward line, while Fulham's composure and defensive discipline belied their poor recent form and lowly league position.

The result was Liverpool's third draw in four league matches under their new head coach and their seventh in twelve Premier League home games during 2026, highlighting a slow start to the campaign. Chances were scarce for the hosts, with Alexander Isak and Victor Muñoz both spurning openings in the first half, while Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno and defenders Jérémy Jacquet and Calvin Bassey were central to keeping Liverpool out. Fulham's Josh King impressed throughout, and substitutions from both sides, including Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister and Milos Kerkez, failed to change the pattern of the match before Isak headed wide in stoppage time.
