Team manager Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool have taken the next step in the right direction in the English Premier League.
Three days after the prestige win over champions Manchester City (1-0), the Reds deservedly prevailed 1-0 (1-0) against West Ham United on Wednesday evening.
The goal of the day was scored by Darwin Nunez in the 22nd minute with a header. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker caught a good evening at home on Anfield Road and saved a penalty kick from Jarrod Bowen (45th), who had previously been fouled, just before the break. Liverpool, who had started the season poorly, climbed further up the table.
In the top game of the day, Manchester United celebrated an important success. Erik ten Hag’s team deservedly won 2-0 (0-0) against third-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Fred (47) and Bruno Fernandes (69) scored for United, who are now four points behind Spurs in the table.
Meanwhile, Chelsea suffered a setback. At midfield team FC Brentford, the Champions League winner of 2021 did not get more than 0-0. At the same time, Newcastle United beat Everton FC 1-0 (1-0) with a goal by Miguel Almiron (31st).
