Fulham 2-5 Liverpool: Reds romp to easy win in west London

By Michael Wade

Liverpool’s resurgent end of season form continued apace as they brushed Fulham aside to win 5-2 and leapfrog Spurs into fifth place.

With fifteen goals in the last five matches and no defeats Kenny Dalglish’s in form side are ending the season with a real flourish and the Cottagers were just the latest team on the receiving end as Liverpool flew into a 3-0 lead within 16 ferocious first-half minutes.

Maxi struck twice in the first seven minutes to claim his fifth and sixth goals in the last three games, the first coming within the opening minute after a defensive scramble saw the ball fall invitingly to him inside the six-yard box.

The second was slightly harder as the Argentinian headed in Glen Johson’s right-wing cross from a tight angle, and before Mark Schwarzer had recovered from the double blow he was dealt a third as he let Dirk Kuyt’s speculative effort slip through his hands.

Fulham recovered for the early part of the second-half and attempted to fight back, Moussa Dembele’s precise 57th minute finish beating Pepe Reina but further goals from Maxi, to complete his hat-trick, and Luis Suarez completed a memorable night in west London.

Steve Sidwell struck a second consolation in the 86th minute, casually shooting into the top corner from the edge of the box. That result leaves Fulham tenth.
