EPL Table and Review After Liverpool lose grounds in the Title Race with a Draw against West Ham

opera.com 2024/5/10

West Ham came from behind to earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

The Reds dominated throughout but struggled to create anything of note in the first half apart from when Diaz hit the foot of the post with a pacy shot.

West Ham were clinical though and after testing Alisson a couple of times, he nodded in the opener just before the break.

Liverpool rallied in the second half, and Robertson drilled in a low equaliser just three minutes after the restart.

They created an xG of 1.64 compared to West Ham's 0.7 throughout the game and eventually took the lead when Gakpo's volley deflected off Ogbonna and then Areola to cross the line.

They couldn't hold onto their lead though, and Antonio thumped in the equaliser. Elliott had a late chance to win it but struck the woodwork with a long-range strike.

The draw leaves Liverpool in third, two points off leaders Arsenal, who don't play until tomorrow. Next up for them is Tottenham.

The Hammers, meanwhile, stay in third, now one point off the top seven, but having played two games more. They travel to Chelsea next weekend.
