Liverpool beat West Ham 2-1, edge closer to Premier League glory

Liverpool moved within touching distance of the Premier League title after a dramatic 2-1 win over West Ham at Anfield on Sunday, thanks to a late header from captain Virgil van Dijk. The result, coupled with Tottenham's 2-4 defeat to Wolves, widened Liverpool’s lead at the top to 13 points over second-placed Arsenal with just six matches remaining.
The Reds rebounded from a stuttering run of form — including defeats to Fulham, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain — with a gritty performance. Mohamed Salah ignited Liverpool’s charge in the 18th minute with a brilliant run from halfway, sliding a perfectly timed ball to Luis Diaz, who tapped in from close range.

Though an unfortunate own goal from Andy Robertson — deflecting off Van Dijk — briefly pegged Liverpool back in the 86th minute, redemption followed swiftly. Van Dijk rose to meet Alexis Mac Allister’s corner just three minutes later, sealing a vital victory.

“In the 18th minute, Mohamed Salah sprinted away on the halfway line, accelerating towards the West Ham area and caressing a perfectly weighted pass to Diaz, who had the simple task of slotting home from six yards,” the club noted.

Liverpool could secure their 20th English league championship as early as April 20 if they defeat Leicester and Arsenal slip up at Ipswich.
Elsewhere, Tottenham’s domestic woes deepened as Wolves cruised to victory at Molineux. Ange Postecoglou's side, now 15th, faces increasing pressure, with Europa League success potentially the only salvation in a turbulent season.
