Their victory in the Liverpool premier league helped them to be on a good streak as they beat West Ham United 5-2 at Anfield on Saturday. This outcome draws Jurgen Klopps team on par with fourth-placed Manchester United in terms of points and is the third league victory.
The Reds controlled the first part and used the weakness of West Ham in set pieces. Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, and Alexis Mac Allister all converted corners and Liverpool scored a very strong lead by the break. It was hard to respond to them because of their clinical finishing and structured play.
West ham, who were teetering on the relegation zone with 25 points, was resilient in the second half. Tomas Soucek had the goal, and at some point Valentin Castellanos was able to draw a goal back after Cody Gakpo had made the game 4-1. Liverpool stuck to the intentions and won the match with ease.
In other parts of the premier league, seventh place Brentford took a breath-taking 4-3 victory over burnley, and Everton defeated Newcastle 3-2 after a late draw. Sunderland has broken a three match run of defeats by drawing a 1-1 match with Bournemouth and this indicates the competitive nature in the lower half of the table.
Liverpool are currently only 13 points behind leaders Arsenal who are playing Chelsea on Sunday. Their regular mould makes them still firmly in the race to European football next season. Through high performances and key players rising to the occasion, the side of Klopp has been able to make itself known as tactically mature and offensive in nature, a reputation that they have made their own.
