PL: Leeds Holds Liverpool to a Draw, Fulham Draws with Crystal Palace
On Thursday, the 19th matchday of the Premier League continued in England. After a series of victories—four in a row across all competitions—Liverpool traveled to Leeds. Despite a lively performance from Ekitike in the first half (10th, 13th minutes), the Reds failed to capitalize. Dominating the game, Arne Slot's men could not break through and take control in the second half. Thanks to a solid defense, Leeds left Anfield with a point and could have even snatched a win if not for a late goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin being disallowed for offside (81st minute).
With this draw, Liverpool remains in fourth place, trailing the leaders by six points. Meanwhile, the London clash between Crystal Palace and Fulham also ended in a draw (1-1). Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring, netting the first goal of the year in the Premier League (1-0, 39th minute), but the Cottagers equalized thanks to veteran Tom Cairney (1-1, 80th minute). The result maintains the status quo in the mid-table of the Premier League: Palace remains ninth, while Fulham sits in tenth place.
