West Ham United punished a lacklustre Liverpool by beating them 3-1 on Saturday evening.
It took Sam Allardyce’s side just over a minute to open the scoring ans shock Liverpool when Stewart Downing’s free-kick was headed in by Winston Reid and from that moment on – the home side looked the better.
The Hammers doubled their lead moments later when Diafra Sakho attempted a ambitious cross-come-shot which caught Simon Mignolet napping.
Aaron Creswell then tested Mignolet once more as the home side pushed for a second goal.
Liverpool did get themselves back in the game when Raheem Sterling fired in but their chances were few and far between in the second half.
Morgan Amalfitano made them pay when he converted with two minutes remaining to condemn Brendan Rodgers’ side to a second consecutive defeat.
