'Nothing but injustice' - National media make Liverpool 'rescued' point after West Ham win

Liverpool boosted their hopes of European football next season after coming from behind to beat West Ham United 2-1 at the London Stadium.

The Hammers took a 12th-minute lead when Lucas Paqueta fired past Alisson Becker. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side hit back six minutes later through Cody Gakpo.

Joel Matip then scored what proved to be the winner in the 67th minute with a powerful header from Andy Robertson's corner. However, there was drama in the closing stages when West Ham wanted a penalty after Thiago Alcantara handled in the area, but on-field referee Chris Kavanagh waved away the appeals, and Neil Swarbrick, on VAR duty, agreed with the decision.
