Liverpool already led through Luiz Diaz’s 30th minute goal and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s long-range strike was deflected in ten minutes into the second half, before Salah danced with the ball from halfway to lay on a fifth Liverpool goal (for Diogo Jota) and ensure a comfortable victory that cemented their lead heading into 2025.

Liverpool thrashed West Ham United 5-0 at the London Stadium to stretch their Premier League lead to eight points on Sunday with Mohamed Salah once again in irrepressible form.

Liverpool make the trip down to London for their last match of the calendar year, visiting West Ham. Thoughts may be on outstanding contracts and the deadline rapidly approaching allowing players to talk to other clubs but we’ve got a match to play and a league to win.
