LIVE: Leaders Liverpool host West Ham
Arne Slot’s side could go 13 points clear at the top of the table with a win. The updates from Anfield as LFC take on West Ham.
Salah skinned West Ham wing-back Ollie Scarles – one of many times during the game – and shot narrowly wide, before thumping the Anfield turf in frustration.
A perfect start – Salah runs down the wing, outside of the foot pass to Diaz – goal!
But Liverpool failed to build on this and West Ham deservedly equalised when Andy Robertson turned the ball into his own net.
Allison was the star of the match he tipped a Mohammed Kudus chip on to the crossbar, and after the break he made crucial stops from Jarrod Bowen and Kudus again.
However, in the 90th minute Van Dijk rose highest to head home a corner and put Liverpool 13 points clear.
It was not over… West Ham sub Niclas Fullkrug also hit the woodwork with a chance to make it 2-2.
It was a frantic end to a game in which Liverpool allowed control to slip from their grasp and where West Ham, who are not yet mathematically safe from relegation, came close on numerous occasions before finally scoring.
