    Can someone remind Jarell Quansah that he's only 20? The lad just oozes class!

  2. Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    David Moyes has his arms folded and looks frustrated with how things are going for his side so far in this game. They've barely had a touch of the ball.

  3. Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Cody Gakpo chests the ball down inside the box for Joe Gomez, who misses his attempted volley but does show good persistence to win the ball back.

    Surely a matter of time before Liverpool have their second.

    Elliott drifts into pockets where players don't want to pick him up. He's been outstanding.

  5. Blunt Hammers

    Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport at Anfield

    The only positive for West Ham is that they are still in the game.

    They have offered no threat to the Liverpool goal and are yet to have a shot.

    Evidently, no team can just turn up to Anfield and dominate but it feels like whatever plan they have isn't working.

    At the moment its just backs to the wall defending.

  6. Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Darwin Nunez shows a bit too much to Ben Johnson as he tries to play a team-mate in the box and Johnson pokes behind for a corner.

    In comes the latest delivery but Virgil van Dijk is just beaten to it.

  7. Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Liverpool have a long spell of possession before a ball over the top almost releases Joe Gomez, but Alphonse Areola is quickest to it.

    West Ham are terrible and showing no ambition whatsoever. They deserve better losing.

  9. Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Liverpool are stepping it up as now Dominik Szoboszlai puts in a dangerous ball right in front of goal that Konstantinos Mavropanos can only turn behind, though I'm not sure he knew too much about it.

    The corner is half cleared but Liverpool soon regain possession.

    I’ve been having an ongoing argument with my brother Rob over whether Szoboszlai is the real deal or not. I think I just won.

  11. Benrahma blow

    Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport at Anfield

    That was a glorious strike from Dominik Szoboszlai but Said Benrahma must bear the brunt of responsibility from a West Ham perspective.

    The Algerian couldn't collect possession as the visitors tried to counter, gave the ball away and his team-mates were out of position.

    Szoboszlai had time to decide where he wanted to put it - and struck his shot perfectly.

  12. Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Perfect time really for Liverpool as thoughts of struggling to score against Manchester United at the weekend might have been starting to creep in.

    What do West Ham do now? They certainly can't keep defending as they have been doing.

  13. 'What a finish'

    Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Clinton Morrison

    It's a great strike. It is poor from Benrahma. He has got to pass it to Bowen.

    He has been outstanding this season, what a finish.

    He cuts across the ball and the dip beats Areola. They always look better when they hit the inside netting, and that's a fantastic finish.

    GOAL - Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

    Dominik Szoboszlai

    It isn't Cody Gakpo but it is certainly a thunderbolt!

    West Ham defenders back off Dominik Szoboszlai and he takes up the invite, smashing a superb shot into the far corner.

    Great finish.

    Nunez gets a lot of criticism but at least he gets into good positions and makes things happen. Yet Gakpo doesn't get anything said about him despite being an absolute passenger for weeks on end...

  17. Liverpool 0-0 West Ham

    Now Liverpool do win a corner as Harvey Elliott's cross is deflected behind. Dominik Szoboszlai sends the ball in but Tomas Soucek heads it clear.

  18. Liverpool 0-0 West Ham

    Joe Gomez is bemused as he thinks he has won a corner but a goal kick is signalled.

    You see Szoboszlai and Harvey Elliott, they are causing a lot of problems. A lot of it was coming down the left.

    But when you are on top, you have to score.

    If Liverpool don't score are we going to get days of "how dare they not let us score by defending".
