Fulham 2-2 Liverpool: Harrison Reed stunner equalises deep into stoppage time after Harry Wilson, Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo goals in Premier League draw at Craven Cottage

Harrison Reed scored a stoppage-time screamer to stun Liverpool who thought they'd won it at Fulham through Cody Gakpo's added-time finish in a thrilling finale to a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage.

Gakpo had pulled off his shirt and swirled it above his head as he dashed to celebrate his 94th-minute bundled-home effort with the jubilant travelling fans.

But those scenes were eclipsed on 97 minutes when sub Reed cracked the ball into the top corner of the Liverpool net from 25 yards, sparking wild celebrations. A first goal since April 2023 for the Fulham midfielder - and one he'll never forget.

It had been a game of fine margins until that dramatic conclusion, with Florian Wirtz narrowly adjudged by VAR to have been onside after his second goal in three games was initially flagged.

Despite the lengthy review and the goal being awarded, Wirtz still looked to have been in an offside position. "He looks like he's further forward," said Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher. "I know sometimes the angles can fool you, but the fact we've got the penalty spot to look at, I just can't believe that's been given."

Harry Wilson's opener also required overturning by the officials at Stockley Park, who spotted Virgil van Dijk had played the Welshman on before he arrowed in a super finish with a technique honed in the Liverpool academy. Raul Jimenez's flicked assist was equally classy.

Before that breakthrough, Cody Gakpo - leading the line with Hugo Ekitike resting a hamstring issue - headed against the woodwork from an offside position after Timothy Castagne brilliantly blocked a flick from Curtis Jones. Gakpo then saw his close-range finish from Milos Kerkez's cross rightly ruled out for offside early in the second half.

That was the signal of a more purposeful start to the second period for the visitors who had lacked cutting edge in the first 45. And that impetus led to Mac Allister nodding a corner against the bar and Wirtz clipping in just his second Premier League goal after good work from Conor Bradley.

But Fulham fought their way back into the contest and there were gasps as Wilson's chip landed on the frame of Alisson's goal, with the Liverpool goalkeeper stranded. At that point, they looked the most likely to grab a winner.

However, the hosts were on the floor when Gakpo met Jeremie Frimpong's cross at the back post to seemingly win the contest - but there was one big twist to come, with Reed scoring surely the finest goal of his career.

Fulham beat Liverpool here in April but this draw felt like a victory in the end. Marco Silva's side - missing key players to AFCON and injury - sit 11th, four points behind the defending Premier League champions who remain fourth.
