West Ham will be distraught at getting nothing from that game, having held Liverpool so long. They defended quite magnificently.
But they were ripped in two by a magical Xherdan Shaqiri pass, a defence-splitter and a nutmeg, all rolled into one. The in-form Diogo Jota slammed home, and Liverpool go top of the table.
They’re three points ahead of Everton, who visit Newcastle tomorrow. West Ham remain in 13th position on eight points, but should take heart from their performance.
They’ve gone toe-to-toe with Arsenal, Spurs, Manchester City and now Liverpool, causing great concern against them all. It bodes well for the future. It’s unfashionable to say it, but David Moyes is doing a fine job.
That is that! Liverpool were made to work their socks off, but they get the three points and equal the club record of 63 consecutive home league games unbeaten.
Diogo Jota’s fast start to his Liverpool career continues apace; David Moyes is still waiting for his first Anfield win after 17 attempts.
