Liverpool went into Wednesday's game against West Ham United looking to build on their weekend victory over Manchester City, and they
Jurgen Klopp's men recorded a narrow 1-0 win over the Hammers last season, and the opening 20 minutes brought few chances for either team. The Reds didn't need a huge chance in order to take the lead, though, with Darwin Nunez heading home a Kostas Tsimikas cross to put them in front midway through the first half before coming close to a second when he hit the post.
The visitors squandered a glorious chance to equalise just before the break, only for Alisson to keep out Jarrod Bowen's penalty. David Moyes' side were never truly out of the game while the score was 1-0, though, and the home side needed defensive heroics from James Milner to deny Tomas Soucek an equaliser at the death.
