Liverpool make Premier League history with bizarre record during West Ham win

The Premier League champions set a brand new record during the win over West Ham United.
Liverpool have set a new Premier League record following their dramatic 5-2 win over West Ham United.
On Saturday afternoon, Liverpool welcomed West Ham United to Anfield for a Premier League fixture that felt like a must-win for Arne Slot's side.
Thankfully for Liverpool, that is exactly what they did, as five goals from the home side saw them secure the three points at Anfield.
The win keeps Liverpool firmly in the race to secure Champions League qualification for next season, as they currently sit fifth in the league and level on points with rivals Manchester United.
However, a vital three points isn't the only thing that Liverpool took away from the win, as they also set a new Premier League record that will take some doing to beat.

Liverpool needed just five minutes to draw first blood in the match as Hugo Ekitike found the back of the net following a corner.
Shortly after, captain Virgil van Dijk doubled his side's lead with his 28th goal for the club, once again from a set-piece, before Alexis Mac Allister fired one into the top of the net following yet another corner.
Following their prolific first half performance, Liverpool have now scored 7 consecutive Premier League goals from non-penalty set-pieces, setting the record for the longest run in the competition's history.
Ibrahima Konate's goal from a corner during the 4-1 win over Newcastle United in January started this impressive run, with Florian Wirtz's strike in the same game Liverpool's last open-play goal.
