Liverpool Thrash West Ham At London Stadium

West Ham endured a humbling home defeat to Liverpool in a clean-sheet 5-0 goal thriller and the Reds consolidated their position at the summit of the table in the pursuit of the Premier League silverware. The Reds last won the title in 2019/2020 under former manager, Jurgen Klopp for the first time in 30 years. 

Liverpool's imperious form is such that they now exert psychological domination on opponents with their superiority. Their recent improvement continued after the Boxing Day match as they ran out to extend their unbeaten run to five matches in Epl.

Slot's side was in control immediately as the hosts were on the retreat from the first whistle and the only surprise was that they survived 30 minutes before Diaz took full advantage of his own attempt from a rebound and unleashed a low shot into the bottom left corner. Afterward, Cody Gakpo converted a great chance from Mo Salah's cut-back inside the box.

Mohamed Salah is teed up on the edge of the box by Curtis Jones, and his howitzer of a shot gave the keeper no chance to the third goal in play. Although, Mohamed Salah has both scored and assisted in eight different Premier League games for Liverpool this season, already the most any player has done so in a single campaign in the competition. Trent Alexander-Arnold cracked a goal for the fourth while the fifth goal was from Diogo Jota's terrific first touch to control a killer pass that curled the ball.

This was enough for Liverpool to move through the gears, following the unusual twist and turn from Chelsea and Arsenal Liverpool team currently has such self-belief and confidence that it is almost impossible to see how, or where, they will stumble in pursuit of the League since 2020.

Overview 

Liverpool's control of the game was impeccable, leaving the hosts to scramble throughout. The Reds passes were spot on and the move on the counter really devastated West Ham. The Hammers were out-ran and outperformed and Salah played a significant role in that.
