Liverpool have continued on their brilliant run in the Premier League with a thumping victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium, MySportDab reports.
The Reds, who are leading the race for the 2024-25 Premier League title, thrashed the Hammers to maintain their grip on the title race.
Goals from Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Alexander-Arnold, and Diogo Jota sealed a comprehensive 5-0 victory for the away side.
It was a shaky start to proceedings with West Ham looking formidable on both defense and attack before a defensive blunder saw the hosts lost their hold in the game at the half-hour.
Luis Diaz latched on the error to fire Liverpool into the lead from close range inside the box.
10 minutes after the opening goal, Mohamed Salah assisted Cody Gakpo after a beautiful nutmeg to help double the lead for Liverpool.
Four minutes after Gakpo’s goal, Salah got himself on the scoresheet to register his record 36 goal contributions for the Reds this season.
The Egyptian’s brilliant left-footed low strike saw Liverpool wrap up the first half of the game with a deserved 3-0 victory.
Despite going down by three unreplied goals, West Ham United did little in the second half to mount a comeback but instead conceded two more goals to settle for their biggest defeat in the season.
Real Madrid-bound right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the fourth goal for the Reds nine minutes into the restart, thanks to Ryan Gravenberch’s assist.
Six minutes before regulation time, Salah made it a hat-trick of goal contributions and his 37th this season, as he assisted Diogo Jota’s late strike to make it 5-0.
It ended with the thumping 5-0 scoreline with Liverpool running out with one of their biggest victory in the season.
The win has seen the Merseyside outfit open an eight-point lead on top of the Premier League table with 45 points from 18 matches.
