Liverpool were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Fulham at Anfield on Saturday, extending their winless Premier League run at home to four matches.
The result also earned Fulham their first point of the season after losing their opening three games.
Liverpool dominated the early stages, with Alexander Isak going close inside 10 minutes after being played through by Ryan Gravenberch, but his effort went narrowly wide.
Fulham then missed a golden chance when Gonzalo García failed to convert after Liverpool surrendered possession inside the box, with Jérémy Jacquet clearing his effort off the line.
Victor Muñoz also saw his header kept out by Bernd Leno, while Antonee Robinson headed wide for Fulham before the break.
Liverpool continued to press after the restart, but Leno denied Isak and Dominik Szoboszlai as Fulham defended resolutely.
Josh King threatened a late winner for the visitors, but Alisson saved his curling effort as both sides settled for a point.
The draw leaves Liverpool struggling to keep pace in the early title race, while Fulham will take encouragement from their first point of the campaign.
