Scott Parker admits he was disappointed Fulham were unable to take away all three points against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Cottagers dominated the reigning champions during the first-half but were unable to hold onto their one goal lead.

"I feel a bit disappointed. The players do as well. It shows how far we've come," Parker said.

"There were two different halves. The first half, we were every bit of what we needed – commitment, energy, desire, passion. We showed a real quality and caused Liverpool problems.

"The second half panned out like everyone expected. Overall I'm very pleased.

"We came out of the blocks flying today. We showed our quality. We can play. I thought we did that very well in the first half."

On whether they should have had a first-half penalty: "At real speed I didn't think it was a penalty. I didn't even contemplate it. But it's gone to VAR asking him to check the monitor. I've seen it, I don't understand how he hasn't given a penalty. Their player had to hit my player's foot to get the ball. I don't understand how we can have a discussion about that penalty. I understand in real time but we have VAR.

"We were resilient today. We closed up. We've all seen late goals [from Liverpool], a real endeavour to score the winner but we stood strong.

"Last three games – Leicester, Manchester City and Liverpool – I don't think anyone would have given us a chance. We've got four points from those three games that people wouldn't have believed."
