On Saturday (14th), Premier League match 1 Liverpool drew 2-2 with Fulham at home, failing to take all three points for the second consecutive league match. In this matchup, the key mistake in Liverpool's backline was made by Andrew Robathan. Recently, he was sent off for an own goal and a red card for an unnecessary foul, making his poor performance a huge obstacle to Liverpool's push for the Premier League title.
Early in the game, Liverpool were on the attack. However, on just 11 minutes, Fulham's Anders Penrina fired home from a tight space, leaving Robertson's mistake a major blot on his career. 17 minutes in, Robertson made a serious error that led to a goal conceded and ultimately a red card ejection.
Although Liverpool were a man short at one point, they did not give up. Shortly after the change of sides, Gap's header helped his team equalize. With the numerical advantage, Fulham took the lead again in the 76th minute. Towards the end of the match, Liverpool's returning injury victim, Diago Zu, came on and scored with a cool shot from inside the penalty area to snatch a point for his team.
Robertson, 30, has become a time bomb in Liverpool's defense after two consecutive errors in the last month led to the team conceding a goal and receiving a red card. Although the coach Schroeder came to his defense after the game, saying: "Robertson suffered a knee injury and I hope he can hold on. He's a character player, but then realized he was doing well. Unfortunately the red card incident happened. He's usually much quicker to clear the ball and that could have been a mistake on his part."
