In a disappointing 0-0 draw, Liverpool were held to a frustrating result by Fulham as the visitors claimed their first Premier League point of the season at Anfield. Despite Alvaro Arbeloa's side struggling to match the level of performance that had secured a 2-1 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid the previous week, Fulham caused Liverpool problems throughout the match.
Liverpool's closest chance of the first half came from Victor Munoz, whose header struck the crossbar after a desperate late run into the box. Bradley Barcola, who made his Premier League debut following his summer move from Paris Saint-Germain, started for Fulham in a well-organized defense that frustrated the hosts.
Despite arriving at Anfield on the back of three consecutive league losses, Arbeloa's side showed plenty of ambition throughout, but had difficulty creating clear-cut opportunities. The result leaves Liverpool unbeaten under Iraola in the Premier League, but with three draws from their opening four matches.
