Liverpool pulled another comeback in the Premier League after last week’s win against Sheffield United. This time, it was David Moyes’ sturdy West Ham. However, Jurgen Klopp’s unbalanced side beat the Hammers 2-1 in a tough battle in the Premier League.

West Ham soared in full confidence following their draws against Tottenham and Manchester City. Nevertheless, they grabbed on to the opportunity provided by Joe Gomez. The Spanish international Pablo Fornals made not mistake to ping it past Alisson early in the 10th minute of the match.

Moyes’ men looked comfortable with their lead, though, Liverpool could not give up this easy. Arthur Masuaku clipped Mohamed Salah in the penalty box to offer the Reds a spot-kick in the 42nd minute. Although some controversial comments indicated his dive, the Egypt international could not take a chance to miss the golden opportunity.
