Liverpool boss Arne Slot conceded Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Fulham constitutes two points dropped but was proud of his side's efforts.

The Reds went behind to Andreas Pereira's early strike but were dealt a telling blow when Andy Robertson was sent off after just 17 minutes.

Having equalised through Cody Gakpo early in the second half, the hosts were then forced to come from behind again, Rodrigo Muniz scoring after 76 minutes and Diogo Jota equalising with four minutes to play.

Slot's side pushed hard for a winner but, having won 11 of their first 13 league games of the season, they have now drawn their last two.

The Liverpool manager told Sky Sports: "I don't think I could've asked for more from my players, especially after going down to 10 men.

"I couldn't have asked for more in terms of performance. Of course, we could have had two points more.

"We ended up with a draw and I don't think we can blame the referee for that. There were a few moments when I could have been given a yellow card.

"It's marginal moments and when some go against you, you think some will go for you but I haven't felt that here.

"We have to accept what VAR sees. I think Robbo might have been a bit too injured to keep going because normally he's faster than that, but it results in a red card."

Fulham manager Marco Silva was equally pleased with his side's commitment but rued a missed opportunity to claim a famous win.

The Cottagers have dropped 17 points from winning positions in the league this season, the most of any side, and Silva knows they should have been more clinical.

He told Match of the Day: "The game is emotional here. The crowd plays a big part and with the quality of Liverpool, they can almost be unstoppable.

"I think the red card created more emotion in the game. We had to keep more of the ball and make them run more. We reacted well and had so many times three against four.

"We should have taken three points. With one player more and leading, we were too open. I have to give credit to our players for their attitude and commitment."
