    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    West Ham's Pablo Fornals talking to BBC Sport:

    "We played a really great team. We needed to win and what a day to be a West Ham supporter and player and being in this great family. I think we keep doing what we have been doing last season, since the gaffer took the team.

    "A great team performance. We know we are really dangerous from set pieces. They tried to equalise and they left us a lot of space.

    Can West Ham win title? "I don't know. It is too early to say. But fighting for each game as we did today, why not still dreaming?"

  3. 'It is important we keep looking forward'published at 19:26 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold tells BBC MOTD: "Massively (low). This is a game we thought we could win and we should be winning it with the quality we have got. We can and should win every game we go into.

    "We have a big chances in the last minute, a massive chance for Sadio Mane. We did not create too many clear cut chances and not many do here.

    "The first goal was a bit dubious, could have gone either way but the second was well worked. This is something we need to work on and teams will be looking at it as a weakness.

    "We are probably going into the most crucial past of the season, The Christmas period so you will be punished if you perform poorly. It is important we keep looking forward.

    "It is difficult to get it up and down from there (for the goal), I was staring at giants in the wall so it was Mo's idea to create and angle. It was a good finish."

  4. 'Everything to do with West Ham now is unbelievable'published at 19:24 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    West Ham forward Michail Antonio, speaking to Sky Sports: "We have to give it out to the coaching staff, they look at the strengths and weaknesses of the teams we come up against it. It is mostly between the gaffer, Paul Nevin and Kevin Nolan.

    "No-one marks me on the keeper so I am there to stop him coming out to catch it and you saw what happened today - goals!

    "Once we scored we sat back and they came into the game. But when they scored we came into the game and realised we had to go out and challenge again. I hear it was a great game for the neutral.

    "We are unbeaten in seven now, let's hope we can keep it going.

    "This season now, with the fans back, it kind of reminds me of the Boleyn Ground. I signed when it was the last year there. The atmosphere, the charisma inside the stadium and changing rooms, everything to do with West ham now is unbelievable. The fans are there to support us and keep lifting us, it is amazing."

  5. 'We gave control away for no reason'published at 19:22 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West ham 3-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, speaking to BBC Sport: “In football in general you have to create, be more ruthless in the final third. We played a really good game in the first half, they scored a goal from a set piece and didn’t have counter attacks.

    "Second half we didn’t do that. Second goal we lost the ball somewhere and then they had a set piece and it was a brilliant set piece. That’s it."

    On first West Ham goal: “Ogbonna hits the arm of Alisson, that is a decisive piece of the body of the goalkeeper. How it cannot be a foul I don’t know but we have to accept these things.

    "If we got something we would have deserved it but we didn’t get it so we accept the defeat."

    Good that no team running away with it at the moment? “Hopefully not because we are not one of the two teams that could run away with it at the moment. We had a really long run without a defeat, we didn’t really think about it as too many draws, that run is over good now we can think about starting another.

    “We have to win football games. I know I cannot think we cannot lose football games but today I felt it was unnecessary because we had control of the game before we gave control away for no reason.”

  6. 'I hope and believe best is to come'published at 19:20 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    More from West Ham boss David Moyes to Sky Sports: "I challenge myself, I have to win. I am not going out to get a draw or a loss, I want a win. Look at Liverpool at the moment and without going over the top it is hard to pick a better team at the moment.

    "I think I am the same manager [as at Everton] but have had to work out myself how to get better. We all have to try and keep improving. I hope and believe my best time is still to come and at the moment I've got really good players who play with incredible character."

  7. 'A brilliant win'published at 19:18 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to Sky Sports: "It is a brilliant victory against a really good team. We played Thursday night too and to put in a performance with the energy to hang in at the end is great for the players.

    "Liverpool have been so good with the ball, I think they have improved. We tried to shore up a bit, I didn't like a bit how we played in the second half so we did a little change and it worked. We played so well in the second half. We got three goals and on another day maybe could have got more.

    "Last year we tried to get at them and they picked us off sometimes so we had to be a bit patient.

    "I remember when I came everyone said the London Stadium was not the same. Everyone in football knows if you can get a team winning and trying every game you will get supporters backing you wherever. The supporters backed us today.

    "This is a really good stadium for us, we are benefiting now. Everyone was questioning if the (lack of) supporters was why West Ham was doing well (during last season) but we've disproved that."

  8. 'I'm not your puppy'published at 19:17 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    More from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    "There was another situation with Aaron Cresswell on Jordan Henderson."

    You thought that was a red card?

    "My god. I'm not your puppy. Hopefully, you have an opinion yourself. All good."

  9. 'Difficult to take'published at 19:13 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    "[The long unbeaten run coming to an end] is the least of my problems. However long a run is, it will come to an end.

    "There are couple of things that happened during the game that are difficult to take. If you don't take your chances you're leaving things up to ref decisions."

    Which ref decisions are you not happy with?

    "It's really interesting you ask that. I'm not sure I want to answer the question if you don't know the situation I'm talking about. Do you not think [Alisson was impeded for the first goal]? Is your job not to have an opinion? Okay that's nice.

    "We saw it back, Alisson wants to go for the ball, Angelo Ogbonna hits Alisson's arm with his arm, that's why Alisson's arm deflects the ball into the goal.

    "There are countries where everyone would say that's a foul. The keeper must get help, otherwise in these situations everybody runs at the keeper because he must make sure he gets the ball. But he has no chance because if he pushes, it's a penalty."

  11. Top four the target for Moyespublished at 19:08 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes is asked by BBC MOTD if his team can challenge for the title: “I want to be really positive all the time, I would like to say that is what we can do. I don’t see that at the moment. We can challenge the top four but whoever they are I want to see if we can give us an opportunity, we missed out on Champions League football by two points so why can we not be there? We are not getting carried away but this it is feeling good at the moment.

  12. 'I'm hugely proud'published at 19:02 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    "It's been hard to beat Liverpool over my career, they've been a very good side, so I was very pleased to get it today.

    "Even when it went to 3-1 it was never comfortable, Liverpool were very good and we had to work hard to keep them out.

    "We didn't play well in the first half. Sometimes when you play on a Sunday having played on a Thursday night, you don't start well.

    "We weren't as good as we should have been and they were very good. We changed things around at half time."

    On the atmosphere in the stadium:

    "I'm smiling at you saying that because a lot of people don't put that with the London Stadium, its a great stadium and everybody's just getting used to it.

    "What the supporters really want to see is a winning team and they're beginning to see a team that's winning a lot more now. It was a terrific effort from the players and we even could have scored a couple more.

    "This result shows that we're really in with a good chance of challenging for the top places.

    "I'm hugely proud [that I've turned West Ham around]. The way the players have gone about it, you talk about me turning it around, these players were close to relegation. Now we're pushing for Europe."

  13. 'We were not patient enough'published at 18:59 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp tells Sky Sports: "Key moments today. The goals and some situations have to go another way. Let's talk about the game, the first they score is a foul on the goalkeeper, the arm goes into Alisson's arm so how can he catch it? That makes no sense. We scored the equaliser and fully controlled the game and they only went for the counter. Second half we did not play as clear but over the whole 90 minutes I wished we were more clinical finishers. They do well on the counter, they have quality and the second set-piece we concede. Aaron Cresswell's was a reckless challenge on Jordan Henderson, even when he touched the ball before so you have to control your body. Two situations which were influential but West Ham did not make the decisions and they won the game.

    "What can Alisson do? That is why the goalie is protected. If a player goes up in the air with his arm, it is an important part of the body for the goalkeeper. People will say I am making excuses but I am calm. You need normal decisions from a referee and he did not do that.

    "We lost too many balls that is why they had counter-attacks. At 1-1 we had them were we wanted. It looked like we lost a bit of patience, we had a lot of situations where we got to the touchline but could not make it count. They dropped really deep so it does not make it easy, you have to force and fight them down in the final third. Little things decided it and a few things went against us.

    "We were not that calm in the decisive moments, they could not get us. When you try to put the ball into the box they had eight, nine players so we have to go again, do it again. We were not patient enough.

    "We can be better 100%, you cannot always play your best result, you have to grind out a result but they scored three goals and we didn't."

    Victor: I can't believe my eyes, West Ham you guys actually deserved the 3 points...big up

    Tony: So many decisions have failed to go Liverpool's way today but the Redmen’s goalkeeping and defending have been poor. Architects of our own downfall. A deserved West Ham win.

  15. 'A proper knock'published at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    FT: West Ham 3-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk talking to Sky Sports: "A proper knock but we have to pick ourselves up. An intense game. First half there was nothing wrong, they defended well and we scored a deserved equaliser.

    "Second half we were a bit too rash. We wanted the 2-1 a bit too much. They gambled on the counter attacks and it leaves an open game.

    "Sometimes you have to be more composed and patient and keep the ball a little bit longer.

    "The first goal counts. I saw the whole time, Alisson was being man marked. With the rules no-one knows what is allowed. It could have been a foul."

    Nobody expected Leicester to win the Premier League, so you never know, stranger things have happened. It will be difficult because they need to add to their squad.

    At the moment, let these fans enjoy and the manager and the players enjoy the ride. It's good times at West Ham at the moment.

    West Ham United

    West Ham defender Kurt Zouma tells Sky Sports: "A great performance today from everyone, every the crowd help up against a great team. It was an open game but we were more clinical and stayed strong at the end and dug deep.

    "Tactically we had to be spot on today so when they lose the ball we knew they would be open. We had a plan and it worked out today.

    "That is why I came here, to help the team grow up. Keep improving and it is like a family here."

    West Ham forward Pablo Fornals: "We don't need to win because we were not favourites but we fought and that is how we have played this season. That is what brought us here.

    "It doesn't matter if it is not Pablo Fornal's goal, it is a goal for West Ham."

    David Moyes is walking off the pitch with a spring in his stride, he's waving like a successful US presidential candidate to the crowd.

    He's got a smile on his face, he looks like he knows he's going to get a landslide victory when the polls close. Off he goes - and he's the man they didn't want!

    It's a fantastic win, a proper performance. West Ham stuck together, they were fantastic on the counter attack. Credit David Moyes and credit these players.

    Alisson has had better days. He's one of the best keepers in the world but I think he's at fault for two of the goals this evening.
