Liverpool's quest for a top-five finish received a significant boost as teenage winger Rio Ngumoha became the club's youngest Premier League scorer at Anfield. The 17-year-old found the back of the net in the 36th minute.
Mohamed Salah extended Liverpool's lead just four minutes later with a precise finish. The victory marks Liverpool's first league win since late February, moving them to fifth in the table with five Champions League spots available next season. Fulham remain 11th.
