Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday with a hard-earned 2-1 home victory over West Ham United.
The Reds came from behind to seal all three points, with summer signing Diogo Jota scoring for the third straight game.
The Hammers – who were undefeated in their last four league games prior to their visit to Anfield – took an early lead through Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals, taking full advantage of a poor headed clearance by Joe Gomez.
Liverpool restored parity shortly before the break. Arthur Masuaku committed a foul on Mohamed Salah – which David Moyes interpreted as a dive from the Egyptian after the match – that allowed the Reds’ talisman to equalise from the penalty spot.
With five minutes remaining, Jota found the net following a delightful pass by Xherdan Shaqiri – moments after already seeing a goal disallowed for a foul.
Here’s how Liverpool players reacted to the win after the game:
