Liverpool edged past West Ham 2-1, with Virgil van Dijk scoring the winner in the closing moments after Andrew Robertson's own goal canceled Luis Diaz's opener. This victory puts Liverpool 13 points ahead of Arsenal, nearing their first league title since 1990. They could claim it on April 20 if they win their next match against Leicester. Mohamed Salah set a new league record for the most goals or assists in a season, emphasizing Liverpool's offensive strength despite an underwhelming performance, highlighted by Alisson's impressive goalkeeping.
Alisson probably had his best game of the season today. The winner was a relief because...after West Ham scored, it was maybe more that you could expect them scoring.
Mohamed Salah set a new Premier League record with his 45th goal or assist of the campaign, the most ever in a 38-game season, when he teed up Diaz to open the scoring.
Virgil van Dijk made amends three minutes later, rising to head in Alexis Mac Allister's corner as Liverpool closed in just a second league title since 1990.
Even if Liverpool don't seal the title then, it seems only a matter of time before they clinch a record-equalling 20th English crown.
