    When was the last time someone created so many chances against Liverpool? They've been absolutely shredded here. It's a perfect run from Jarrod Bowen and he should really score.

    Mayhem from the corner. Aaron Cresswell gets a touch, there's a handball appeal, but it ends in a goal-kick.

    This is the chance! Michail Antonio plays a wonderful ball through to Jarrod Bown, whose run is perfect. He's one on one with Alisson but the keeper makes himself big and saves the shot.

    What a disaster VAR getting a decision right, again. We won't be talking about that now but remember the positives of VAR too.

    Fair play, VAR only takes a few seconds to rule this one out. Sadio Mane was well offside when Trent Alexander-Arnold blasted a cross in.

    I think Sadio Mane was offside here. I really do.

    Sadio Mane

    Sadio Mane turns the ball home from Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross but he's miles offside. Surely VAR overturns this.

    Liverpool 3-2 West Ham

    Jarrod Bowen has finished on the losing team in all eight of his Premier League appearances before today - seven for Hull and one for West Ham.

    The record is Sean Thornton's 11 defeats.

    West Ham bring on big money January signing Jarrod Bowen for Robert Snodgrass.

    When you say there's 10 minutes left the West Ham fans would have been thinking 'that is an absolute eternity'. There are some teams where you think you're running out of time but you don't think that here anymore. Even a minute feels like an eternity here.

    It’s as if West Ham have remembered the relative league positions and have decided to give the game to Liverpool on a polished silver platter.

    All three goals have come from full back assists. That isn't a fluke, it happens all the time. That's one of the reasons Liverpool have been so extraordinary.

    Sadio Mane

    Liverpool are ahead!

    Declan Rice hacks a clearance away but only to Joe Gomez. His shot is deflected and falls to Trent Alexander-Arnold. His cross-shot is brushed by Lukasz Fabianski and falls to Sadio Mane, who turns into an empty net from six yards out.

    That's a little bit of desperation from Liverpool. That's Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and now Virgil van Dijk trying to win penalties for Liverpool.

    That's the greatest of the Kop though, that's what they do. They put the pressure on.

    Liverpool have had 23 shots to West Ham's four. And yet the Hammers deserve to be level.

    I've been really impressed by Angelo Ogbonna and Issa Diop at centre back for West Ham. Sometimes three can get in the way but as a two they've looked good.

    Just seen a replay of that chance at 74 minutes - Roberto Firmino actually hit the post with a header from practically the goalline.
