In the 13th round of the English Premier League, today's matches were full of surprises. Tired of a series of defeats, Liverpool finally pulled themselves together and secured a convincing 2-0 away victory against West Ham. This victory gave the Merseyside team not only points but also an opportunity to relieve their emotional burden.
This match is remembered for another piece of good news for the Reds: Isak scored his first Premier League goal in this very match. Before that, he missed several opportunities, and in the 60th minute at the London Stadium, he celebrated his debut goal in the tournament. By the end of the game, Gakpo also demonstrated his skills, ensuring the team's distinctiveness with a goal+assist.
West Ham, acting as the home side, couldn't offer serious resistance. In the middle of the match, Paketa received two warnings and left the field, which further complicated the situation for the winning team. After that, Liverpool easily controlled the game and achieved the desired result.
