The next threat came from Mohamed Salah. He hooked wide of the post after being set up by Alexander-Arnold just inside the area. After a one-two with Firmino, he tried his luck again but hit straight into Fabianski’s palms. Nunez beat the opposition goalkeeper with a chest-and-volley from the edge of the box that shook the post.

However, just before halftime, Joe Gomez’s tackle on Bowen inside the area led to a VAR review. West Ham was given a penalty. Alisson made a great save to stop his attempt. He kept Liverpool’s advantage intact as the sides headed back to the locker rooms. After exchanging passes with Salah only seconds after the restart, Henderson lofted a shot just wide. Jurgen Klopp’s team attempted to reestablish their control right away. Aaron Cresswell made a crucial touch to save Firmino’s shot . He took it from Henderson’s cut-back as he came close to increasing the Reds’ lead.
Gianluca Scamacca missed a counterattacking chance for David Moyes’ squad. It was followed by Reds corner when he was slipped in by Michail Antonio. Salah was stopped by Fabianski in the dying minutes. Liverpool then avoided a major setback when Soucek’s very certain goal wasn’t scored.
