Liverpool boss Arne Slot said people would "make stories" out of the reasons for his side's 3-2 defeat at Fulham but played down the defensive mistakes in their first Premier League loss since September.
Three Fulham goals in 14 first-half minutes proved to be a hill too hard to climb for Slot's men, who saw a 26-game unbeaten league run ended in west London owing largely to their own defensive mistakes.
They had briefly led at Craven Cottage before errors from Curtis Jones, Andrew Robertson and Virgil van Dijk respectively played their part in Fulham's rapid-fire turnaround before the break.
That put Liverpool two goals down for the first time in a league match since their Merseyside derby defeat to Everton in April last year, and, despite Luis Diaz's smart finish 18 minutes from the end, they could not force an equaliser.
