After Wednesday’s defeat against Everton, Liverpool had to take their backs against West Ham. Getting the three points was a must to stay in the footsteps of Arsenal and Manchester City. But for the second time this week the Reds did not have their day. Just before half-time, Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham the lead.

Liverpool recovered in the second half. Early in the second half, Andy Robertson brought the away team back on level terms. And just over fifteen minutes later, the situation looked even brighter for Jurgen Klopp’s team, who took the lead after an own goal by Soucek.

West Ham had not shown much after half-time, but Liverpool did not let Liverpool enjoy their lead for long. With just under fifteen minutes left on the clock, Bowen delivered a wonderful cross, after which Antonio Alisson left Becker without a chance with a clever header. 2-2 and having to do everything again.

Salah and Klopp bickering
The deficit was the reason for Jurgen Klopp to bring in some stars. Enter Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah. Striking image: Salah fought a verbal argument with his coach while he was waiting on the sidelines. Frustration because he had to start on the bench or was there more to it? It certainly did not produce nice images.
Klopp recalled the incident in front of the TV cameras afterwards. “We talked about that moment in the locker room with the boys. It’s closed. Does Mo Salah also consider the matter resolved? Yes, that’s my feeling.”

Yet we doubt whether Salah also thinks this way. The Egyptian walked past the press in the corridors of the Olympic stadium. “There will be fire today when I speak,” were the unmistakable words of the attacker.
Ball on target wood
Back to the match. After the equalizer, Liverpool still besieged West Ham’s goal, but the Reds did not get further than a ball on Harvey Elliott’s crossbar.
In the standings, Liverpool leaves a provisional shared leadership position due to the division of points. With 75 points they remain in third place, two points behind leader Arsenal. Manchester City follows in second place with one point less than the leader from London. West Ham is seventh with 49 points.
Liverpool is doing a particularly bad job in the battle for the title. After all, City and Arsenal can go even further this weekend. City (which has also played one match less) ends the matchday on Sunday evening with a visit to relegation candidate Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal faces Tottenham in the London derby.
