In the only Monday's English "Premier" league match, a rough mistake by goalkeeper Pepe Reina led London's "Fulham" to a 1-0 victory against "Liverpool". It was the first 'Reds' defeat after 11 consecutive undefeated matches in all competitions. Additionally, their streak of seven away victories was interrupted. The Liverpool team seemed closer to victory for a long time - in the first half, Andy Carroll shot straight at the goalkeeper from 7 meters, and even less successful was Jordan Henderson, whose shot hit the post. After the break, the visitors pressured the opponents, but complicated the situation in the 72nd minute when the referee showed a red card to Jay Spearing in a controversial situation. The midfielder first knocked out the ball, but the referee strictly punished him for raising his foot high against Moussa Dembele. "Fulham" took advantage of the numerical superiority: in the 85th minute, a weak shot by Danny Murphy was deflected by goalkeeper Pepe Reina straight to Clint Dempsey, who scored the winning goal for the capital club. "Liverpool" could have equalized, but after Stewart Downing's long-range shot, the ball hit the post. After this failure, Liverpool's team (23 points) remained in seventh place in the table, trailing leader "Man City" (38 points) by fifteen points. London's "Chelsea" (28 points), currently in fourth place, has a five-point advantage. Meanwhile, "Fulham" (15 points) climbed to 13th place.
