The returning Diogo Jota scored a late equaliser as Premier League leaders Liverpool twice fought back with 10 men to deny Fulham following Andy Robertson\u2019s red card at Anfield.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jota, sidelined with injury since October, slotted in an 86th-minute leveller after Rodrigo Muniz looked to have ended the Reds\u2019 second-half resistance.<\/p>\n

Cody Gakpo\u2019s header from Mohamed Salah\u2019s sublime cross shortly after half-time had cancelled out Andreas Pereira\u2019s 11th-minute opener.<\/p>\n

Six minutes after Pereira volleyed Fulham ahead, Liverpool\u2019s task became even tougher when Robertson was dismissed for denying Harry Wilson a goalscoring opportunity.<\/p>\n

While Fulham centre-back Issa Diop had earlier escaped with a booking for a high challenge on the offside Robertson, there was no such fortune for the Liverpool left-back and a lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) review confirmed Wilson was onside before pouncing on his mistake.<\/p>\n

After Wilson fizzed the resulting free-kick narrowly over Alisson\u2019s goal, Liverpool reset and continued to cause Fulham problems \u2013 but Luis Diaz headed over the hosts\u2019 best chance before half-time.<\/p>\n

However, a re-energised Liverpool stormed out of the blocks in the second half and Gakpo\u2019s instant leveller after the restart sparked the Anfield crowd into life.<\/p>\n

Fulham\u2019s failure to capitalise on their numerical advantage fuelled Liverpool\u2019s belief and Salah twice went close to completing the turnaround but could not find the target before Muniz delivered a sucker punch.<\/p>\n

There was to be one final twist late in an enthralling contest when Jota marked his return with a fine finish to set up a chaotic, breathless conclusion, with both sides made to settle for a point.<\/p>\n

After a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle 10 days ago, Liverpool\u2019s title rivals were able to make up further ground after last weekend\u2019s Merseyside derby against Everton was postponed by severe weather.<\/p>\n

But they extended their lead over Chelsea, who host Brentford on Sunday, to five points after third-place Arsenal\u00a0were held to a goalless draw\u00a0by Everton.<\/p>\n
