Liverpool players celebrate with Alexander Isak after his first Premier League goal for the club at West Ham United. At a glance Tributes are paid after death of West Ham's former captain and manager Billy Bonds at 79 Mohamed Salah dropped for a Premier League game for the first time since April 2024 at West Ham Alexander Isak puts Liverpool ahead with his first league goal since his record £125m move from Newcastle Lucas Paqueta sent off for two quick bookings and Cody Gakpo adds late second for Reds Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool since his record £125m move from Newcastle United as Arne Slot's side ended their wretched run with a much-needed victory at West Ham United. On an occasion of high emotion following the announcement of the death of legendary former Hammers captain and manager Billy Bonds, the Reds ended a dismal sequence of nine defeats in 12 games with a deserved success. Head coach Slot dropped Mohamed Salah from a league starting line-up for the first time since April 2024, also at West Ham - a run of 53 games - under his predecessor Jurgen Klopp, and was rewarded with a much-improved display. Liverpool dominated a subdued West Ham, with Florian Wirtz excelling in a role behind the strikers, before Isak ended his personal struggles with a fine half-volley from Cody Gakpo's cross on the hour. The home side's misery was compounded six minutes from time when Lucas Paqueta was shown two yellow cards by referee Darren England in quick succession - the second for arguing the initial booking for a foul. Liverpool then added a second goal their superiority deserved when Gakpo finished well in stoppage time. More to follow.

Indeed, Man City (28) and Arsenal (26) are the only visiting sides with more goals at the ground. Liverpool have lost each of their last five away league games against London sides, as many as in their previous 31 (W16 D10). The Reds last had a longer losing run in the capital between September 1952 and April 1954 (8). West Ham have won seven points from their three Premier League games in November (W2 D1), almost twice as many as they managed in August, September and October combined (4 – W1 D1 L7). Having only failed to score in one of their first 48 Premier League games under Arne Slot, Liverpool have now lost their last two by a 3-0 scoreline. They last lost more consecutively without reply in September 1993 (a run of four). Liverpool have lost 3-0 against Man City and 3-0 against Nottingham Forest in their last two Premier League games. They’ve not conceded 3+ goals in three consecutive league games since April 1955 in the second tier, while they last lost three in a row by a margin of 3+ goals in December 1953. Liverpool have conceded 20 goals in their 12 league games this season. It’s the joint-earliest into a Premier League campaign they’ve conceded 20+ goals, along with 1992-93 (also 20 after 12). West Ham have won their last two Premier League home games (3-1 v Newcastle, 3-2 v Burnley) ending a run of nine games without a win at the London Stadium.

West Ham’s Callum Wilson has scored three goals in his last two Premier League games, as many as he had in his previous 36. He’s looking to score in three in a row for the first time since September 2023. Only against Nottingham Forest (7 – 6 goals, 1 assist) has Alexander Isak been involved in more Premier League goals than he has against West Ham (6 – 5 goals, 1 assist).
