Liverpool vs West Ham: Liverpool maintain their unbeaten Premier League record this season after defeating West Ham to close the gap on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

How Liverpool Defeat West Ham to move to the Second Place on The Premier League Table

West Ham got Alisson into an excellent save with a beautiful header from West Ham Soucek. Liverpool defence seem to be lacking the compassion even with the availability of Virgil Van Dijk.

Again, West Ham should have been ahead in the 8th minute of the match, but Micheal Antonio failed to make contact with the ball at the edge of the back post.

David Moyes was extremely shocked, as he expected the Jamaican striker to put the ball into the net from that angle.

The London club has been playing poorly; however, this goal seems to be some kind of resurgence.

West Ham goalkeeper Areola was tested in the 48th minute of the second half after a Luis Diaz shot. However, West Ham quickly reacted with a huge clearance.

Liverpool got another chance a few minutes after Diaz’s attempt. This time it was Nunez who missed a clear chance from Mohamed Salah’s pass in the 18-yard box.

Bowen got a free header in the box, but his attempt went straight to Alisson.

Darwin Nunez put Liverpool ahead with an excellent touch on the ball after receiving a nice pass from Alexis Mac Allister.

Nunez had been on top of his game this season with three goals scored.

Diogo Jota came on in the second half to end the game with the third goal for Liverpool, ensuring three points and five wins in six matches in the Premier League.
