Liverpool started their title challenge with a 2-2 draw at newly promoted Fulham on Saturday.
Aleksandar Mitrovic gave Fulham the lead twice but Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah managed to pull goals back for Liverpool and ensure they got a point.
“We have to respect Liverpool but of course do our job and trust ourselves, we did a great first half, almost perfect the way we controlled and blocked,” Fulham coach Marco Silva said. “Second half we matched them every time.
“I know the quality Mitrovic has and I’m here to take the best from my players. Mitrovic is not just goals, he puts on the constant pressure and the overall job he did is fantastic.”
Fulham grabbed their first goal on 32 minutes when they broke down the right hand side through Neeskens Kebano.
Kebano laid the ball off to Kenny Tete who planted a cross into the box, which Mitrovic headed past Alisson.
