    West Ham 2-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool have lost three of their last four away games without scoring. Again, they had plenty of possession in this match but they're failing to create enough chances.

    West Ham were the strongest side and deserved the win.

    "A fantastic result for West Ham. West Ham's bad run was because of the injuries they had, and they did suffer. You look at Carroll and Payet and them being fit gives the club a big lift.

    "Fifth in the table is fantastic for West Ham."

    "The big lift for West Ham is having Andy Carroll and Dimitri Payet back fit.

    "They look like they have gone through a poor run, but now find themselves fifth in the league. They have every opportunity to break into one of those European places.

    "The talk last summer was 'make sure we stayed in the Premier League' but it won't be like that now."

    "Christian Benteke is getting a lot of criticism, but I don’t think people realise how difficult it is to play up front on your own. If you’re playing up front, you expect the team to create chances for the strikers."

    There'll be three minutes of added time in this match. On this display, Liverpool wouldn't score even if they had 33 additional days to play this game.

    At the other end of the pitch, Joe Allen goes close with a header from close range and the Welshman should have at least hit the target.

    For all their possession, there's been little evidence from Liverpool that they possess the guile and creativity to score two goals in this match. West Ham defending deeply, comfortably seeing off the visitors.

    "Michail Antonio has been the outstanding player on the pitch. A man of the match performance. His goal was outstanding, but he has put in a really good shift for his team today. He is an easy player to fall in love with."

    Five minutes remaining and West Ham are on course to achieve a first double over Liverpool since the 1963-64 season. Liverpool have been below their best today, while West Ham will earn a deserved victory.

    James Collins bullying Christian Benteke, sniffing out any pass or cross which comes the striker's way. The Welshman has been solid in defence for the Hammers today.

    We're into the final 10 minutes and Liverpool are keeping hold of the ball as they search for that goal which could spark a comeback. But Klopp's men lack bite, perhaps they lack belief too.

    Philippe Coutinhho with a low, driving daisy-cutter which causes all sorts of chaos for the West Ham defenders in the box, but the ball is blocked by Andy Carroll. 

    There's a slight melee... words exchanged between Emre Can and Cheikhou Kouyate... but the referee deems a talking to is enough of a punishment.

    A dangerous-looking free-kick from Adam Lallana out on the left which is put out for a corner by James Tomkins. Corner Liverpool... Lucas with the header which is cleared off the line by Mark Noble. Now or never for Liverpool.

    Philippe Coutinho weaves through a couple of challenges, he's through on goal but the ball overruns and Adrian clears with his feet. 

    Liverpool, again, the dominant team in terms of possession, but that matters little when you're 2-0 down.
