Liverpool crush West Ham to go eight points clear

Liverpool delivered another emphatic performance, thrashing West Ham United 0-5 at the London Stadium to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.

Luis Diaz opened the scoring in the first half, followed by goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, whose brilliance continued with a dazzling assist for substitute Diogo Jota’s late goal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold also added a deflected strike as Liverpool dominated from start to finish. West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus provided the only glimpses of hope for the hosts, hitting the woodwork twice, but his efforts were overshadowed by the Reds’ relentless superiority.

Arne Slot’s Liverpool now appear unstoppable, their dynamic attacking trio and solid defensive unit showcasing a level of dominance unmatched in the league. While Salah shone as the talisman, contributions from Diaz, Gakpo, and Alexander-Arnold underscored the team’s depth.

West Ham struggled under Julen Lopetegui, their passive performance offering little resistance. Despite recent unbeaten form, the Hammers were brought back to reality, leaving them in 13th place with questions lingering about their progress under their new manager.

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s commanding form makes them strong favourites for the title, with their self-belief and consistency posing a daunting challenge for any rival.
