Rafael Benítez's Liverpool arrive at Craven Cottage on 31 October 2009 fifth in the table and leave with nine men and a 3-1 defeat by Roy Hodgson's thirteenth placed Fulham. Two Liverpool players are sent off and the home side pull clear in the closing stages.
Yossi Benayoun hits the bar shortly before Fulham score on 24 minutes, tapping in a teammate's low cross. Fernando Torres levels on 42 minutes, volleying his tenth league goal of the season after Andriy Voronin's header from Philipp Degen's ball comes off a Fulham player.
Erik Nevland and Zoltán Gera arrive at half time and combine on 73 minutes, Gera nodding back a chipped cross for Nevland to score from close range. Degen sees red for a late challenge on 79 minutes and Jamie Carragher for a last man foul on 82 minutes, before Nevland sets up a third on 87 minutes.
It is Liverpool's fifth league defeat in eleven games, leaving Benítez nine points behind leaders Chelsea with Steven Gerrard among the absentees. By May Fulham are twelfth and Liverpool seventh, a narrower gap in the table than the one at kick off.
