Salah on the date … 5 characteristics of Liverpool’s victory against West Ham

Liverpool managed to rise to the top of the Premier League temporarily after beating West Ham by two goals to one in the game that took place on Saturday at Anfield, within the accounts of the seventh day of the English Premier League.

Liverpool, defending champion in the last version, rose to the top after their score became 16 points, to mark the difference with the rivals Everton to three points, where the ‘Toffies’ have a match during this round facing to Newcastle on Sunday.

This match saw Egyptian star Mohamed Salah score his seventh goal for Liverpool this season, while Portugal’s Diogo Jota scored the winning goal to give the Reds three new Premier League points.

In the following lines, Yallakora reviews the five most salient characteristics of Liverpool’s victory over West Ham:

Salah on time:

Salah, for the third time this season, managed to score a penalty on three occasions, at the start of the round of the match against Leeds United in a match that the ‘reds’ decided in their favor by winning a score (4-3).

The Liverpool star was able to score against (Leeds United West Ham in the English Premier League, and the match against Metlayind in the Champions League).

The 28-year-old has achieved so far, after seven games, his seventh goal in the new season (2020-2021), equaling Everton’s top scorer Calvert Lewin with the same score, and a goal from South Korean star Hyung Son, Scorer for Tottenham Hotspur and the English Premier League so far. With 8 goals.

Salah has an outstanding record during his matches against West Ham, having visited the “Hammerheads” on seven previous occasions out of seven matches, and has also scored two crucial goals.

And he has a great record against Bournemouth and Watford with 8 goals, then the trio, Tottenham, West Ham and Southampton with seven goals.

Jota shine:

Last week, the young Portuguese star, Diogo Jota, celebrated his 10,000th goal for Liverpool after scoring a goal against the Danish Mittelayind in the accounts of the second round of the Champions League competition.

Jota was at the Liverpool rendezvous three times in the Premier League after opening his Reds jersey goals against Arsenal in the third round in the Merseyside giant’s 3-1 win over Anfield.

The Portuguese star arrived on time during the first two games of the Sheffield United meeting in the previous round after he scored the winning goal in a 2-1, and then the same player repeated the same situation in the match of the West Ham.

Gotta (23) moved to Liverpool in the Wolverhampton team’s last summer transfer period, in a deal valued at almost £ 42m.

First impression:

In the last period, Liverpool suffered more than one special blow to the baseline, starting with the injury of veteran Virgil van Dyck with a cut in the cruciate ligament, which will make the Dutch star fail until the end of the season, in addition to the absence of Cameroonian defender Joel Matip after the match against Everton on matchday five.

Jurgen Klopp returned after goals from Van Dyck and Matip, to be subjected to another clash through Brazilian international midfielder Fabinho, who was injured in Mittlayind’s Danish match, which means that Liverpool will miss their field average even after the end of the international suspension.

Jurgen Klopp was using Fabinho’s services on the defensive side, where he was involved in both Chelsea matches in the second round and then Sheffield United, but the injury prompted Klopp to seek help in Saturday’s game with young defender Nathaniel Phillips.

Nathaniel Phillips made his first game as a Liverpool shirt in Premier League competition, where he had previously played for Liverpool when they faced Everton in FA Cup competition last season before returning to Stuttgart for a period that was yielded.

Although Liverpool conceded a goal in the West Ham game, Phillips was able to arrive in time after he participated with Joe Gomez, as the 23-year-old was able to appear during the 90 minutes.

Phillips’ numbers saw him put up 66 correct passes out of 81, and he also excelled at double balls five times out of nine, while long balls provided two balls from the original.

Anfield Fortress

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp managed to catch the number of the legendary Bob Paisley, who had led the “Reds” previously.

Paisley with Liverpool did not savor defeat at ‘Anfield’ for some 63 games, so Klopp repeated the same achievement again at the expense of West Ham, where Liverpool’s last loss at home was in 2017 at the expense of Crystal Palace. (2-1) in round 34.

New glitch:

David Moyes played his 16th game as coach at “Anfield”, either as coach of Everton, then Manchester United, Sunderland and finally West Ham, as the 57-year-old coach failed to achieve any victories at the “Reds”.

Liverpool were able to beat Moyes 11 times, compared to a draw only five times, and since the appointment of Jurgen Klopp to Liverpool in October 2015 over Moyes during his visits to Anfield.

Klopp beat Moise four times at Anfield, one game with Sunderland and three games with West Ham.
