Martin Skrtel's own goal condemned Liverpool to a 1-0 loss to Fulham last night, maintaining the team's dreadful home form in the Premier League this season.

Meanwhile: England's national team is back in the hands of an Englishman in Roy Hodgson who has been tasked with ending England's 46-year title drought.
The 64-year-old Londoner is the oldest manager to be handed the pressure-packed role in a four-year deal after agreeing to leave West Bromwich Albion later this month.
