Manchester City will go top of the Premier League on Wednesday if they beat Everton after Liverpool failed to win at West Ham.
2018/2019 Premier League
1-1
Match Report
Liverpool missed the chance to move five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League as Michail Antonio's equaliser meant they were held to a 1-1 draw away to West Ham.
Jurgen Klopp's side went in front through Sadio Mane at London Stadium on Monday, although the goal should have been disallowed for a clear offside in the build-up.
But Antonio quickly levelled for the Hammers, with his fourth career goal against Liverpool leaving the league leaders just three points clear of chasing City, who had defeated Arsenal 3-1 the previous day.
And the result could have been even worse for the Reds, Declan Rice wasting a free header shortly before the interval, although substitute Divock Origi almost won it in added time.
Match Events
3' CHANCE! Chicharito's shot wide out
Not far away! What a start that would have been for the Hammers. A clever turn from Hernandez in midfield helps start the hosts forward, and the striker finds himself on the end of the move as well, picked out by Noble's incisive ball into the box, but Hernandez's eventual effort bends just beyond the far post.
22'GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Liverpool (Mane)
LIVERPOOL LEAD IN LONDON! 1-0! Controvery aplenty with this one as Milner is clearly offside when played in down the right by Lallana. West Ham think it's offside and they switch off, which allows Milner's cross into the path of Mane who turns sharply and finishes coolly in at the far post from seven yards!
28'GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Liverpool (Antonio)
EXACTLY THE RESPONSE THEY NEEDED! It's 1-1 in the capital! A clever set-piece routine from the hosts as Anderson rolls a free-kick into the area to pick out the run of Antonio, who finishes superbly off the far post and in with his first-time effort!
42' Not far away! Rice's header wide out
HUGE CHANCE WASTED! Another delightful delivery from a Felipe Anderson free-kick results in what probably should have been West Ham's second, as he picks out Rice who found himself alone behind the defence, but lifted his free header over the bar!
61' CLOSE! Salah's shot saved
TERRIFIC EFFORT! Mesmerising footwork in the penalty area by Salah, who leaves both Rice and Snodgrass in his dust with one clever turn, before using Cresswell as a shield for his shot as he tries to bend an effort in at the far post, but it just lacks the pace and Fabianski is wise to it!
