In a match reported by the Independent, Ryan Sessegnon equalised with a stunning first-time volley before Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz put Fulham 3-1 up.
Conor Bradley set up Luis Diaz to pull one back with nearly 20 minutes remaining, but Fulham held firm to secure all three points.
Despite the setback, Liverpool remain top with 73 points from 31 games — 11 ahead of Arsenal.

Fulham climbed to eighth with 48 points, just three behind fifth-placed Manchester City, a position likely to offer Champions League football next season.
