Unstopable Liverpool end the year top of EPL table following emphatic victory over West Ham

Stephen Oladehinde 20:12 - 29.12.2024

Liverpool maintained their impressive form in the league as they thrashed West Ham away from home.

The Reds went into the game on the back of an impressive performance against Leicester last time out.

They did an impressive job against West Ham, defeating the London side 5-0 on the night and ending the year at the top of the Premier League table.

As it happened 

Julen Lopetegui made four changes to the West Ham side that started their 1-0 win at Southampton on Boxing Day.

Arne Slot made just one change from the starting XI in the 3-1 win against Leicester a few days ago.

Liverpool started the game brightly, but it took until the 29th minute before Luis Diaz was able to break the deadlock for the Reds after several chances were missed.
