Liverpool's hopes of clinching the Premier League title have been dealt a significant blow following a 2-2 draw against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
According to a report by Flashscore, the result coupled with their recent defeat to Everton in the Merseyside derby, has left them with a mountain to climb in their pursuit of domestic glory. Meanwhile, West Ham's impressive home form continues, with the Hammers now having lost just two of their last 19 games at their fortress.
The match started cautiously, with both teams struggling to find their rhythm in the opening exchanges. Despite enjoying the lion's share of possession, Liverpool failed to create clear-cut chances, with Luis Díaz's effort against the post being their closest opportunity in the first half. However, it was West Ham who broke the deadlock just before halftime, courtesy of a powerful header from Jarrod Bowen, who equaled Paolo Di Canio's record for the most goals scored by a West Ham player in a single Premier League campaign.
The second half saw a rejuvenated Liverpool side equalize early on through Andrew Robertson's strike, before taking the lead through a fortunate deflection off Cody Gakpo's header. However, their lead was short-lived as Michail Antonio's header restored parity for West Ham. Despite both teams pushing for a winner in the closing stages, the match ended in a stalemate.
For Liverpool, the draw leaves them two points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, with just three games remaining in the season. With Manchester City also in contention, their title hopes hang by a thread. Meanwhile, West Ham's quest for European football suffered a setback as they remain in eighth place, with the race for the top seven heating up.
