00:00 field finished West Ham United won a fifth successful Premier League win for
00:04 Liverpool six success in all competitions for start to season really
00:07 strongly don't think anyone would have thought they would have started this strongly given
00:11 those are fairly big home goals in the summer of players, some experienced players leaving and a few arriving but now with the proof start to the season
00:20 brilliantly and they got what they reserved, they were excellent today to be honest with you
00:24 I think the first half was a bit of a head part for them, but they opened the score in the 16th minute Mo Salah won a penalty, he was tripped in the area
00:34 he stepped up and slammed his penalty down the middle won 0-0 Liverpool
00:37 and he had a few chances after that Liverpool, Salah put one past the post
00:43 so did Alexis McAllister, Virgil van Dijk put one over the bar, they couldn't quite create
00:49 anything clear cut and then West Ham got back into the game for the second
00:52 minute Gerard Bowen, a player Jürgen Klopp's a big admirer of, the Poole be
00:57 disappointed how the goal came up, ball over the top, he didn't really react quick enough
01:01 cross comes in the box and Bowen with a dive and Ezra van Dijk was a little bit static really, a bit flat footed to get a cross
01:08 but in the second half West Ham were really contained, they barely had an effort on goal
01:14 Poole had to be patient, Darwin Nunes put one wide, a good chance but then it was him in the 60th minute
01:21 who gave Liverpool the lead, Alexis McAllister with a pinch perfect all over the top
01:26 Nunes left on so with a first time volley into the corner, great finish
01:30 Liverpool continued to dominate and they got the reward in the 85th minute with Joel Jota the substitute
01:36 corner come in, van Dijk had to back cross Bowen and there's Jota's sweep on the side
01:42 Liverpool, excellent to a man to be honest, some standout performances
01:48 but Keir Stone was brilliant in the middle of the pass, he really kept at it
01:52 Joe Gomez had a good game as well to be fair to him, standing in at right back
01:58 he was very good on Mr. Bosley as well, just an absolute fantastic sign and he's proved to be for 60 million
02:06 plenty of confidence now going forward, obviously a massive game next week against Tottenham
02:12 but first a clash against Leicester City in the California Cup third round to come
02:16 on Wednesday so we'll be here so tune in then, great win for Liverpool in to the 3-1
