London: Riding on Mohamed Salah’s brilliance, Liverpool F.C. cranked up the pressure on West Ham United F.C. manager Slaven Bilic with a 4-1 win at the London Stadium. On the other hand, Burnley’s remarkable start to the Premier League season continued thanks to a 1-0 victory at Southampton on Saturday.
Liverpool’s Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah maintained his rich goalscoring form by netting twice as Jurgen Klopp’s side punished a woeful West Ham display to move sixth, level on 19 points with Chelsea who host Manchester United on Sunday, and Arsenal.
“We changed our approach, it was a counter-attacking lineup to use our speed from the deep.”
Manuel Lanzini had briefly dragged West Ham into the game at 2-1, but they finished being booed off for the second home match in a row.
The result left them precariously perched above the relegation zone and sent Bilic into the international break with question marks hanging over his future.
