Liverpool Return To The Top Of The Premier League After Beating Fulham

Liverpool have returned to the top of the Premier League after beating Fulham 2-1.

Jurgen Klopp's team are now two points ahead of Manchester City following Liverpool's 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage. City, though, have a game in hand following their FA Cup outing, this weekend.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring in the 26th minute, bagging his 17th Premier League goal of the season and his 20th in all competitions.
