West Ham 0 Liverpool 3 Premier League result


West Ham 0 Liverpool 3

Liverpool kept their heads down in the Premier League today to continue the pressure on Manchester United as best as they can.

Captain Steven Gerrard was put in by a great through ball from striker sensation Torres, Gerrard’s diagonal run was intelligent but West Ham’s attempt at an offside trap wasn’t. Gerrard didn’t make any mistake, scoring within only 2 minutes. 36 minutes later Liverpool had a penalty, Gerrard’s spot kick was saved by Robert Green but it rebounded back to Gerard to net his second.

It was one way traffic at Upton Park with the visitors looking to dominate the possession. In the second half, Torres missed narrowly with freak header (looked like it just accidentally bounced off if his head!) just going wide and Dirk Kuyt was foiled by Green in a one on one scenario. Zola’s boys have had a good transitional season but Liverpool bossed the midfield.
Babel was picked out towards the end by Kuyt, only for his header to be saved by Green but then the ricochet was picked up for Babel to make certain of 3 points for the Reds.
Liverpool remain unbeaten in the Premier League – Benitez should be proud of their efforts this season but they will probably come up short against the mighty Man Utd.
