What happened. Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Fulham at Anfield on Saturday, three days after beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the Champions League. Their front four of Alexander Isak, Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Victor Munoz, costing nearly £400m, failed to seriously test Bernd Leno.

• Iraola made just three changes to his starting line-up
• Fulham had the better chances and earned their first point of the season
• Iraola is managing in the Champions League for the first time after joining from Bournemouth

Iraola must now manage the physical toll of a three-day turnaround as Liverpool juggle domestic and European commitments.
