Fulham 2–2 Liverpool: Harrison Reed Nets Stunning Goal-of-the-Season Contender
Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed delivered a stunning contender for Premier League Goal of the Season with a dramatic late strike to rescue a 2–2 draw against Liverpool.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool arrived in London chasing all three points but found themselves under pressure after Harry Wilson gave Fulham the lead. Florian Wirtz brought the visitors level before Cody Gakpo appeared to have sealed the win, celebrating wildly as he removed his shirt and earned a yellow card. However, Reed—scoring his first goal since April 2023—had the final say, unleashing a sensational effort into the top-right corner to deny Liverpool victory. The late equaliser leaves Fulham 11th in the table, six points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
Introduced in the 90th minute in place of Sasa Lukic, the 30-year-old midfielder collected the ball in the 97th minute, far from goal. Few inside Craven Cottage expected a shot from such distance, but Reed ignored convention and struck a thunderbolt that will live long in the memory.
After taking a single touch to set himself, Reed faced no immediate pressure as he lined up his attempt. His right-footed drive from outside the box swerved beautifully through the air, leaving Alisson Becker rooted as the ball flew beyond his reach. The goal, created from a pass by Brazilian winger Kevin, came from well over 20 yards and proved decisive in the closing moments.
In an entertaining contest in west London, Reed’s moment of brilliance provided a breathtaking finale as Fulham snatched a deserved share of the points at the death.
Since completing his permanent move from Southampton to Fulham in the summer of 2020 following a successful loan spell, Reed has not been known for prolific scoring, registering just three goals. However, with 13 assists to his name, he has consistently contributed in attacking areas.
This latest strike showcased his ability to change a game in an instant—a goal of rare quality that is certain to earn a place in Fulham folklore.
