Liverpool made it three wins in seven days as they defeated Fulham 2-1 to leapfrog Manchester City in the Premier League.
The Reds should have hammered the Cottagers as our opponents are certain to be relegated, however, we were almost made to pay for our poor finishing.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring in the first half and despite dominating possession, we could not find that second goal.
Ryan Babel then made it 1-1 after a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, but the initial culprit was James Milner.
The Englishman was brought on in the 70th minute to calm things down. However, he sliced a clearance which put Van Dijk in all sorts of trouble and led to the goal.
The midfielder saved us by converting a penalty seven minutes later and had the perfect tweet regarding his afternoon.
The three points were important for the Reds, however, it is a doubt if he gets the assist for the goal Babel scored.
This should come as a warning to the Reds that we cannot take teams lightly. Fulham could have scored more than the one, but our defence held strong.
The Reds had several chances to extend their lead but failed to do so. Mohamed Salah and Mane should have put this game beyond the Cottagers and we almost dropped two crucial points.
Liverpool cannot afford slip-ups against a quality Manchester City team. The win put us two points clear of City but they have a game in hand.
Our next clash is against Tottenham after the international break, and we have to win at Anfield to keep the pressure on the Cityzens.
