Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage on the Premier League’s opening day.

Jürgen Klopp’s side fell behind in the first half on Saturday lunchtime to a Alexsandar Mitrovic strike, before substitute Darwin Nunez levelled after the change of ends.
 

Mitrovic again put the hosts in front from the penalty spot though Salah struck in the final 10 minutes to earn the Reds a point.

First half

The hosts began the game on the front foot and signalled an instant threat inside the opening minute through Mitrovic who prodded a shot wide of the post.

Klopp’s side threatened for the first time on the 15-minute mark, seeing Luis Diaz curl an effort into the net only to be denied by the offside flag following Andy Robertson’s earlier forward run.

Salah’s header flew wide a short while later while Joel Matip was forced to block a drive from outside the box.

Fulham had the lead just after the half hour mark, Mitrovic leaping highest at the back-post to head home a Neeskens Kebano cross.

The Reds almost had an instant reply before half-time, though, as Diaz slid inches from Robertson’s low ball before the winger struck the woodwork with another dipping shot.

Second half

Liverpool made a double substitution early in the second period, introducing both Nunez and Harvey Elliott from the bench – the latter replacing Thiago in a forced change.

It was the hosts who almost struck again with Kebano hitting the post thanks to a well-hit shot from inside the box.

Nunez and Salah combined to force Marek Rodak into a point-blank save after the hour, though levelled for the Reds in an identical move just a minute later.

Salah delivered low from the right and the No.27 produced a clever flick to even the scoring.

Fulham cleared off the line from another Nunez effort while Diaz saw a volley deflected wide of the post.

Against the run of play, the hosts won a penalty as Virgil van Dijk tangled with Mitrovic after a swift counter.

Following a VAR check to confirm, the striker converted from 12-yards to restore the advantage for Marco Silva’s outfit.

The Reds responded and again levelled the encounter inside the final 10 minutes of the match.

A ball forward from Trent Alexander-Arnold found Nunez, whose touch fell to Salah to slide the loose ball into the net from close-in.

Jordan Henderson struck the crossbar from distance in added time though the Reds had to settle for a draw.

An Italian athlete dropped to last place in the 400 metres decathlon race at the 2022 World Athletics U20 Championships after suffering an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.

Alberto Nonino began the race in Cali, Colombia strongly, overtaking two of his rivals on the bend. However, he slowed down noticeably in the final straight, grabbing his crotch as many as six times as his rivals surged past.

Nonino finished last in heat 2 with a time of 51.57 seconds.

Spanish sports journalist David Sanchez de Castro offered a graphic description of Nonino’s nightmare. “Last series of the 400 metres decathlon. The Italian Alberto Nonino in lane five begins very well but crosses the finishing line last. He had his penis out, literally,” he tweeted in Spanish.

“His penis escaped out of the side of his shorts and he had to hold it because it wasn’t allowing him to run properly which is normal when your dongle is swinging from side to side,” he added.

A clearly embarrassed Nonino pleaded with people not to send him viral clips of the incident. “I’m conscious it was obviously an accident and I’d like to tell you I’m aware of the reaction and you don’t need to send me the links to the blogs out there,” he wrote on Instagram.

“I’m trying to laugh about it now but immediately afterwards I felt terrible and I’m thankful to my friends and family for helping me get over what happened a few hours later.”

He also criticised the press. “The journalistic world worries about cases of bullying throughout Italy and around the world and then publishes these articles that for a more sensitive person could have done a lot of harm.”

Nonino eventually finished 15th in the decathlon with 7,054 points on Friday. Streaking ahead in first was Gabriel Emmanuel from the Netherlands with 7,860 points.

Champions Bayern Munich fired five goals past woeful Eintracht Frankfurt in the first half on the way to an electric 6-1 victory in the Bundesliga season opener on Friday (August 5).

The Bavarians put down a marker at the start of the campaign as they look to land an 11th consecutive league crown, and outclassed the Europa League winners, who face Real Madrid in the Super Cup next week, with new signing Sadio Mane on target.
 

Mane, who also scored in last week’s German Super Cup win over RB Leipzig, was among five different scorers in a scorching first half with Joshua Kimmich’s audacious free kick that went in off the post opening their account in the fifth minute.

Benjamin Pavard drilled in their second six minutes later just before Eintracht hit the woodwork through Tuta.

But Mane headed home a Serge Gnabry cross in the 29th to make it 3-0 and then sent Thomas Mueller, who also hit the post, through to set up Jamal Musiala for their fourth in the 35th with a simple tap-in and the Eintracht defence in tatters.

Gnabry also got onto the scoresheet two minutes before the break, burying any thoughts that Bayern may struggle in attack after the departure of striker Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.

Eintracht, who will play in the Champions League this season, were livelier after the break as Bayern eased off and they pounced on goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s error outside the box to score through Randal Kolo Muani in the 64th.

Musiala, however, wrapped up the scoring when he latched onto Leroy Sane’s assist to slot in his second goal of the evening seven minutes from time to complete the rout.
