Liverpool v West Ham live: Score and latest updates from Premier League clash

No such issues for Arne Slot, of course, who may be hoping for a slightly calmer afternoon after the late drama lasst weekend.

The concession of that goal will really frustrate Nuno Espirito Santo. There is plenty of height in the West Ham side but they just didn’t look comfortable in that passage of corners.

Third time lucky! A commanding header from Virgil van Dijk converts another superb Dominik Szoboszlai delivery, rising highest and using his burl to keep the West Ham bodies away.

A fifth goal of the campaign from the Liverpool captain to put his side in control at Anfield.

Repeat corners as Virgil van Dijk is squeezed out by Tomas Soucek. Ooh – was that an effort on goal? I think it was from Dominik Szoboszlai, trying to find the near post and seemingly on course if not for Jarrod Bowen’s touch.

Jarrod Bowen links up with Crysencio Summerville, but the West Ham wide-man is a little short of options and, eventually, ideas.

Liverpool break, but Hugo Ekitike is dispossessed. The hosts reload and Cody Gakpo looks for the byline, earning a corner.

Top stop from Mads Hermansen! Ryan Gravenberch bends one around a body or two and the West Ham keeper is forced to sprawl to his left to keep it out.

There is a definite brightness to West Ham’s play, which has been true across the recent run that has given them hope of survival. Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville finding form has really taken some of the load off Jarrod Bowen, and it’s that former pair that are doing much of the illustrating here.

Liverpool just starting to feel a little bit of pressure.

West Ham break with speed after Disasi’s clearance, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka tries to be too cute and find Jarrod Bowen rather than shoot, ending the opportunity.

A good zip to this game early on.

Strong defending from Axel Disasi, tracking back to get to Mohamed Salah after West Ham had been caught a little short. Disasi celebrates the tackle, perhaps a little too enthusiastically, though then wins the header after the corner comes in.

Referee Tim Robinson is the target of the home fans’ frustration after Ryan Gravenberch is deemed to have fouled Mateus Fernandes. It looked a foul, in truth.
