Fulham returned from Anfield on Saturday with their first point of the new season, holding Liverpool to a goalless draw in a contest that frustrated the home side throughout.

Liverpool, playing at Anfield, were unable to break down a resolute Fulham defence across 90 minutes of effort. The visitors absorbed the pressure and made the most of a disciplined defensive shape to secure a share of the spoils.

For Fulham, who had been without a point before this fixture, the result represents a hard-earned reward on the road against one of England's most formidable opponents. For Liverpool, it is an early dropped point at home — a result they will be eager to put right in the matches ahead.
