Marco Silva, who secured a last-minute draw against Liverpool, praised Harrison Reid as a player who has stood the test of time.


Goals from Harry Wilson and Harrison Reed secured a 2-2 draw for Fulham in a key Premier League match of the 20th round of the 2025/26 season , drawing with Liverpool. Marco Silva commented on the intense competition within the team and praised Harrison Reed as a proven Premier League player.


In the 17th minute, Raul Jiménez made a through pass from near the center circle, and Harry Wilson followed up, dribbled into the penalty area, and fired a low shot into the net, giving Fulham a 1-0 lead.


In the 57th minute of the second half, Conor Bradley made a diagonal pass from the penalty area, and Wirtz fired a shot into the net, helping Liverpool equalize the score at 1-1.


In stoppage time of the second half, Frimpong chipped a pass into the penalty area, and Gakopo scored from close range, giving Liverpool a 2-1 lead. Three minutes later, Kevin orchestrated an attack, and Harrison Reid unleashed a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area to level the score at 2-2 for Fulham.


Fulham ultimately held Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at home. After an unbeaten run of 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 matches, Fulham currently sits in 11th place in the league table with 28 points.


When discussing Harrison Reed's performance, Fulham manager Marco Silva humorously remarked, "If people were to ask me now whether I brought him on just to get him to score that goal, I certainly wouldn't say that. But that's his ability; that goal came entirely from his own inspiration."


“He’s been under my management for almost five years and has been with the club for six. He’s a very professional player, and this period hasn’t been easy for him. Last season, or compared to the previous few seasons, his playing time was significantly reduced, and this season has been very difficult for him as well.”


Marco Silva said, "He is a player who has stood the test of the Premier League, but the competition for this position is really fierce. There are Harrison Wilson, Sasha Lukic, Sandberg and Tom Kenney in the team, as well as Iwobi who sometimes plays in this position. The overall strength is very high."


“I know he’s not happy with his current playing time, but he’s a top player and one of the most important leaders in our locker room. He has a very loud voice and always inspires everyone to move forward, and he’s always working hard to get more playing time.”


Marco Silva pointed out, "Our first goal was fantastic, the attacking combination was fluid, Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez's reverse runs were top-notch, and Harry Wilson once again finished brilliantly. Now he has the ability to create magical moments for us with almost every touch of the ball, and he did it again this time."


“After being equalized, Liverpool played better, which boosted their confidence. They pressed us deeper, making the game more difficult, but we responded positively and remained calm again. When the score was 1-1, Harry Wilson’s chance to hit the post was one of the best chances of the game.”
