Liverpool match verdict as Paul Gorst reports on 3-1 win at home to West Ham United in the Premier League
The West Ham United striker raised a fair few eyebrows in the build-up to his latest visit to Anfield with a bold, bombastic claim about not only winning but also finishing above Liverpool in this season's Premier League.
Another 3-1 victory for Klopp's team - their third in eight days - was enough to ensure that Antonio's insistence that his team would take maximum points at Anfield fell hopelessly flat. Throw the electric bursts of Luis Diaz and the smooth motoring of Cody Gakpo into the equation and Liverpool have the sort of firepower that will be the envy of most of Europe, never mind the Premier League. Fifteen of their 18 goals so far have now been shared between that front five and it will be fascinating to see who tops the list in May. Keep them all fit and the possibilities for this entire campaign are mouthwatering.
It was Salah's 13th goal involvement in as many games and took his tally for those particular metrics to a whopping 54 since the start of last season . For all that talk about Saudi Arabian interest - chatter that will only intensify as it gets closer to January - there is surely merit in exploring the possibility of attempting to extend his stay on Merseyside. His enduring brilliance is showing no signs of dimming as he moves further into his 30s.
West Ham forced their way back into the game when Jarrod Bowen stooped to expertly head a Vladimir Coufal cross past Alisson Becker towards the end of the first half but a blistering second ensured the points remained on Merseyside.
