As super sub rescues a point against Liverpool with a rocket
Harrison Reed goals don’t come around too often, with his rocket that rescued a point against Liverpool his first in nearly three years, reports Laurie Martin for Fulhamfc.com.
With just 50 seconds left on the clock, Reed, who had only been on the pitch for eight minutes, unleashed a venomous strike past Alisson Becker to claim a last-gasp point against the reigning Premier League champions and to end his scoring drought.
“Absolutely not, it was to keep it tight!” answered Reed, when asked by Sky Sports if Silva had instructed the midfielder to score a screamer from 30 yards.
“I’ve come on at 1-1 and two minutes later they’ve scored, so I did my best to keep the boys going. I knew we’d get a chance, but I thought it’d be a bit more clearcut than that! It came to me nicely, Kev (Kevin) has given me the ball, and I’ve had no other option than to just hit one.
“What a feeling. I’m not sure on the celebration, I was a bit everywhere, but a deserved point for us, definitely.
“First-half, we had really good control of the game, maybe not on the ball, but out-of-possession we nullified them a lot. They didn’t look like threatening us and H (Harry Wilson) does what he does best and puts us ahead.
“Second-half was always going to be difficult, they were going to change things, throw more bodies forward, press higher and they got their goal, which was maybe offside. But we dealt with that really well, so we take the point.
