Everything you need to know as Arne Slot's bold call to drop Mohamed Salah was vindicated as Liverpool got back to winning ways against West Ham
Liverpool secured a victory over West Ham, ending a "woeful run" of three consecutive three-goal defeats against Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, and PSV Eindhoven. This crucial win helped relieve some of the pressure that had been mounting on manager Arne Slot.
Alexander Isak scored the decisive goal, which was his first Premier League goal for the club. The Swedish striker instinctively fired home at the near post early in the second half following a cutback from Cody Gakpo.
Manager Arne Slot's bold decision to drop Mohamed Salah for the first time this Premier League season was vindicated by the result and performance. The Egyptian winger remained on the bench as an unused substitute throughout the match.
The match was sealed by Cody Gakpo, who scored a ruthless finish on the volley in added time. Gakpo also played a key role in the opening goal by providing the assist for Alexander Isak.
West Ham suffered a major blow when their midfielder Lucas Paqueta was sent off with a red card. He was shown two yellow cards within a minute, both for dissent, leaving the hosts a mountain to climb with ten men.
