West Ham turned in an excellent performance to defeat Liverpool 3-2 on Sunday evening, with Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen standing out for the Hammers. They had to hold on at the end, but did so to go third in the Premier League table, leapfrogging the Reds in the process.
Match Events
0' The match is about to start!
3' OWN GOAL! West Ham 1-0 Liverpool (Alisson)
31' Jota's header over the bar
40' GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Liverpool (Alexander-Arnold)
50' CLOSE! Rice hits the beam
52' Mane's shot stopped
66' GOAL! West Ham 2-1 Liverpool (Fornals)
73' GOAL! West Ham 3-1 Liverpool (Zouma)
82' GOAL! West Ham 3-2 Liverpool (Origi)
The match started perfectly for West Ham as Fornals' fourth minute corner kick went all the way in after only taking a touch off Alisson. There was a VAR check for a possible foul, but the goal stood to get the home side off to the perfect start.
Liverpool were slow to get going, but equalised five minutes before the break when Trent Alexander-Arnold turned in a perfect freekick.
West Ham finished the first half strong and had a couple more half chances, before keeping up their excellent counter-attacking football after the break, with Jarrod Bowen eventually sliding in a pass for Fornals to beat Alisson in the 67th minute.
Before long, it was 3-1 and West Ham were again dangerous from a set piece, with Kurt Zouma turning in a 74th minute corner at the far post.
But, Liverpool were never going to give up and they pushed for a comeback. Divock Origi knows something about epic comebacks and pulled one goal back out of almost nothing in the 83rd minute.
The West Ham fans feared that Liverpool would have one more chance and they did indeed, but Sadio Mane couldn't steer his header on target from a lofted Alexander-Arnold freekick.
That meant that West Ham held on, taking three points that have them dreaming of Champions League football.

Well folks, I don't have problems with Liverpool being beaten by the Hammers but my Chelsea laziness to have won their came to go up 6points clear. This result would have been a good standing for Chelsea instead let Chelsea be warned that they have no advantage at the top. In the Premier league, you can only win the league trophy by taken advantage of your rivals defeat but if you don't, well you will blame yourself. So for me, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool are are now topping the table.

Complacent Liverpool players lost to a team that wanted to win. West Ham tactics to down Liverpool by two methods. 1) Distract the Goalkeeper by deploying two tall players very close to him during each corner kicks. 2) park buses as soon as Liverpool attacks West Ham half.
Lie , every time Liverpool lose they will blame opponents for packing the bus , Liverpool is the most overrated club
