• 3-2 in Anfield. Narration and statistics

The goals of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané avoided the first defeat in the Premier for a Liverpool that sweated more than expected against West Ham. Jürgen Klopp's team maintains 22 points ahead of Manchester City after 27 days, so it only needs four more wins to close its first domestic title in 30 years.

The victory allows the 'reds' to share the record of 18 consecutive victories in the English league, which had established the City in 2017. Also, the German coach equals the record of 21 consecutive wins at Anfield, which the legendary Bill Shankly had established between January and December 1972.

Now, Liverpool links 44 league games without losing, approaching the absolute record of English football, held by Arsenal, with 49, between May 2003 and October 2004.

The night seemed most placid against West Ham, the second to last on the table, which in the 9th minute had already been punished by a header from Giorginio Wijnaldum, assisted by Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, the set of David Moyes stunned the fans of Anfield with the goals of Issa Diop (min. 18) and Pablo Fornals (min. 54).

Fabianski's serious mistake

Before, a shot from Salah that stopped Lukasz Fabianski (min.15) and a header from Virgil Van Dijk, spit by the crossbar (min.38), had bothered the 'hammers', very distressed in the table after adding only two points in the last six days.

Liverpool, which has not lost in the Premier since January 2019, squeezed in the final leg and achieved the comeback, also helped by Fabianski, who slipped the ball between his legs in the Salah shot that meant 2-2 provisional.

After Roberto Firmino failed a very clear opportunity for 3-2 in the 73rd minute, it was Sané who succeeded, finishing off with another right Alexander-Arnold center. Shortly after, the VAR annulled a goal to Mané, which had culminated in an advanced position an excellent local combination.
