Liverpool return to top of Premier League table

LIVERPOOL, Nov 12 (AFP): Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table-temporarily at least-with a 2-0 win at home to basement club Fulham at Anfield on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp's side continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season as Mohamed Salah's eighth goal this term and a second from the recalled Xherdan Shaqiri helped them equal their best start to a campaign.
While the scoreline suggested a comfortable victory, the game appeared to turn on a controversial decision five minutes before half-time.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson quickly passed the ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold whose perfect pass released Salah to put the ball in the Fulham net seconds after the visitors' thought they had taken the lead.
