Liverpool continued their push for Champions League qualification with an unflattering 5–2 victory over West Ham United.
Set-piece goals from Hugo Ekitiké, Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister offered what proved to be an insurmountable lead in the first half, before a nervy second 45 had Liverpool hanging on at times. Cody Gakpo’s effort came either side of deserved goals from Tomáš Souček and Taty Castellanos, before Axel Disasi’s harsh own goal killed the game off.
