Liverpool leapfrogged Manchester City to return to the top of the Premier League table and head into the international break on a high.
James Milner had to climb off the bench to rescue his side with an 81st-minute spot-kick as Jurgen Klopp's men secured a vital 2-1 win at Fulham late on.
A below-par Liverpool had gone ahead through Sadio Mane's first-half strike, but a poor error from Virgil Van Dijk was capitalised on by former winger Ryan Babel to level for Fulham in the 74th minute.
Milner fired home the winner from 12 yards after Mane was adjudged to have been pulled down by goalkeeper Sergio Rico - a decision which looked soft at best by referee Craig Pawson.
But the Reds return to the summit, edging two points clear and putting the pressure on Manchester City, who were not in league action this weekend due to the FA Cup.
