Salah's assist, which came in the 18th minute, showed his exceptional skill and vision. The perfectly weighted pass allowed Diaz to score from close range, giving Liverpool an early lead at Anfield.

The match against West Ham was a nail-biter, with the visitors pushing hard to level the score. Their efforts paid off when Andy Robertson inadvertently scored an own goal, bringing the score to 1-1.

However, Liverpool quickly regained the lead through a powerful late header from captain Virgil van Dijk, who converted a corner kick from Alexis Mac Allister.

Despite their best efforts, West Ham narrowly missed out on an equaliser when Niclas Fullkrug's powerful shot struck the post.

This near-miss encapsulated the Hammers' frustration as they struggled to capitalize on their second-half dominance.

Salah's contract extension, announced earlier in the week, has provided a significant boost to Liverpool's morale.

With seven games remaining, the Reds are well-positioned to secure their 20th top-flight title, holding an 11-point lead over second-placed Arsenal.
