Liverpool delivered a commanding 5-0 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium, moving eight points clear at the top of the Premier League and taking a significant step toward a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title.
Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Diogo Jota found the net in a rampant display, underscoring the Reds’ dominance under Arne Slot.
The Dutch manager, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp, has now overseen 23 wins in 27 matches across all competitions, continuing Liverpool’s resurgent campaign.
Diaz opened the scoring on 30 minutes after a fortunate rebound off a West Ham defender. Moments later, Nottingham Forest’s Mohammed Kudus came close to equalizing, hitting the post. However, Liverpool put the game out of reach with two quick strikes before halftime.
Cody Gakpo netted his ninth goal in 14 matches, set up by Salah’s deft touch, while the Egyptian himself added another with a curling effort at Alphonse Areola’s near post.
