It's all square in the Premier League clash between Fulham and Liverpool as a Daniel Sturridge goal cancelled out an early own goal from teammate Kolo Toure at Craven Cottage.

The Cottagers got off to the perfect start in the game when Kieran Richardson found space down the left flank and crossed into the box. Toure looked to have intercepted, but somehow miskicked the ball into his own net to hand the home side the lead.

Liverpool tried to get back into the game immediately and Luis Suarez collected the ball outside the area and beat a couple of defenders before firing a shot at goal, but Maarten Stekelenburg was there to make a good save.

The home side could have moved further ahead but Darren Bent and Lewis Holtby were both guilty of missing chances as Bent headed over from Richardson's cross, while the German fired a shot wide.

Fulham were to rue those opportunities when the Reds equalised as Steven Gerrard hit a pass to release Sturridge, who made no mistake to beat Stekelenburg in the 41st minute.
