"The Reds eased to a 2-0 win at the London Stadium, while Sunderland staged a dramatic comeback from two goals down to defeat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Stadium of Light. Helped by Lucas Paqueta's baffling dismissal, Liverpool snapped a three-game losing streak in the capital, overcoming an in-form West Ham side. Alexander Isak ended his seven-match Premier League goal drought with his first strike for the club, before Cody Gakpo sealed the victory late on-rewarding Arne Slot for a bold selection call."
"Mohamed Salah remained on the bench throughout, sparking speculation about his future, though Slot insists the Egyptian still has a role to play. Regardless of Salah's involvement, Liverpool aim to break into the European spots this week; their eighth-place tally of 21 points leaves them just three behind Chelsea in third and four adrift of Manchester City in second. At Anfield, the Reds boast a flawless recent record against newly-promoted sides, winning 12 consecutive top-flight matches, though Sunderland have proven far from ordinary this season."
