Premier League: Liverpool Regain Table Lead With 2-1 Win Over Fulham
Sadio Mane maintained his scoring streak as he and James Milner propelled Liverpool back to Premier League table top spot after a 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Reds are now two point clear their closest rivals Manchester City and stretched their unbeaten run with Cottagers in Premier League games to six matches in a row.
Mane nailed in his seventeenth goal of the season by tapping in Roberto Firmino's cut back from inside the area for Liverpool's opening goal in 25th minutes.
Cottagers equalised the lead when Virgil van Dijk's headed to Alison went wrong with onrushing Ryan Babel, who ripped him of the ball and journeyed it into the post.
Mind you, that could have been the hosts second, but Floyd Ayité's goal by deflecting in Andre Anguissa's shot was ruled out for being in offside position.
However, Liverpool regained the lead when James Milner converted a spot-kick drawn by Mo Salah with nine minutes remaining.
Fulham remain in relegation zone with 17 points while Liverpool moved up to top the table with 76 points and Manchester City followed in second place with 74 points.
