Fulham secured their first Premier League point of the season with a disciplined 0-0 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday. Manager Alvaro Arbeloa, a former Reds defender, oversaw a vibrant away performance that suggested a first league win is imminent. Despite fielding their £100 million-plus attacking trio of Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak, Liverpool struggled to create clear chances. Andoni Iraola's side looked disjointed, surviving a major scare when Alisson Becker's loose pass led to a goal-line block by Jérémy Jacquet. Josh King was Fulham's standout performer, consistently threatening the home defense.

Liverpool introduced Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, and Jeremie Frimpong late on to increase tempo, but Bernd Leno's goal remained unbreached. The result leaves Iraola unbeaten as Liverpool boss but searching for attacking fluency, while Arbeloa's Fulham take confidence from a tactical masterclass at a fortress ground.
