West Ham vs Liverpool: Liverpool No. 1 Alisson Becker commits a blunder in goal, Check the video: West ham United took a shock lead against Liverpool as their Brazilian custodian makes an uncharacteristic mistake from a corner. The goal went straight in from a West Ham corner as Alisson failed to knock it out in a crowded penalty area.
The Brazilian custodian along with other Liverpool players protested that there was a clear foul on Alisson as the ball went it. The whole incident was reviewed by the VAR and they found no foul. Later they checked for a handball of West Ham United defender Antonio Ogbonna who was lurking around but once again found nothing to rule out the goal. Jurgen Klopp and his men will feel hard done by but they will have to keep going as there is a lot of time left in this match.

West Ham vs Liverpool: Match Summary
There hasn’t been much to celebrate at West Ham, especially in the five years since moving into the stadium at the centerpiece of the 2012 Olympics.
It’s still an imperfect venue — reconfigured around a running track — but the fan dissent and disorder is fading into the past as David Moyes has the club dreaming of unprecedented highs and its fans happily singing the club anthem.
“This season reminds me of the Boleyn Ground,” West Ham forward Michail Antonio said of the old stadium. “The atmosphere inside, everything to do with West Ham right now is unbelievable.”
West Ham, whose highest top-tier league finish was third in 1986, is looking like title contenders two years after Moyes took charge of a team a point above the relegation zone. Building on a sixth-place finish last season — missing out on the Champions League spots by two points — West Ham has now opened a top-flight season by winning seven of 11 games for only the second time.
There was a helping hand from Alisson Becker.
The Liverpool goalkeeper flapped in the air to allow Pablo Fornals’ inswinging corner to go through his hands in the fourth minute. After Trent Alexander-Arnold equalized at the end of the first half, Jarrod Bowen ran at the Liverpool defense before slipping the ball to Fornals whose shot was helped into the net by Alisson’s weak touch. Another assist came from Bowen in the 74th when a corner was headed in by Kurt Zouma through Alisson’s raised hands.

Although Divock Origi pulled one back, scoring on the turn, Liverpool couldn’t find another goal to avoid a first loss in any competition since being knocked out of the Champions League last season by Real Madrid in April. It’s even further back — into February — since the 2020 champions lost in the Premier League.
There’s now only a three-point gap between West Ham and leader Chelsea while defending champion Manchester City is only ahead in second on goal difference heading into the two-week international break.
Moyes is providing a reminder of the managerial credentials that earned him the job as Alex Ferguson’s successor at Manchester United where he lasted less than a year before being fired in 2014.
