 Salah Breaks Yet Another Record as Reds Run Riot

Mohamed Salah set yet another Premier League record as Liverpool beat West Ham to extend their league at the top of the table to eight points. Find all the best facts and Opta data from the game with our West Ham vs Liverpool stats page.


Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to eight points on Sunday night with a comfortable 5-0 away win against West Ham. It now means they are unbeaten in their last 23 matches in all competitions (W20 D3).

Mohamed Salah was once again heavily involved, setting up Liverpool’s second and fifth, plus scoring their third. With a goal and two assists he became the first Premier League player to both score and assist in eight different Premier League games in a season.

Luis Díaz opened the scoring after 30 minutes, lashing in from just inside the West Ham box. It was his eighth Premier League goal this season, his joint-best return in a campaign (also 8 in 2023-24).

Cody Gakpo doubled Liverpool’s lead moments later after Salah had somewhat fortuitously bundled the ball into his path. Salah then made it three just before half time, finishing smartly at the near post after he was afforded far too much room in the box.

Trent Alexander-Arnold added a fourth early in the second half, striking from range via a deflection off Max Kilman. Diogo Jota made it five late on, after Salah’s mazy run teed him up for a simple finish.
