Liverpool took a big step towards winning the Premier League title with a vital win against West Ham.

Virgil van Dijk went from zero to hero for the Reds after scoring the winning goal for Liverpool after making an error at the back just minutes earlier to put West Ham at the back thanks to an Andy Robertson own goal.

With six games left to go, Liverpool can wrap up the Premier League title if they can secure six points from their final games, with the English championship now within reach with Arsenal likely to focus on their UEFA Champions League campaign.

And Jamie Carragher was impressed by one moment from the man in the limelight, Mohamed Salah, who was influential to Liverpool’s win against West Ham.

And Carragher was blown away by Salah’s assist for Diaz, with the pundit saying about the Liverpool winger: “Absolutely fantastic from the man who made the goal.

That pass is absolute perfection from Salah, the weight of it, outside the of the boot.

We’ve seen it so often this season – Salah is not just about goals.

Diaz has the open net!”

Salah’s form has been a huge reason behind Liverpool’s unstoppable march to the Premier League title, with the attacker on course to enjoy arguably the greatest individual season out of any player in the league’s history.

And based off raw numbers, Salah has now achieved just that, with the winger’s assist ensuring that the Liverpool attacker broke the record previously held by Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland for the most goals and assists in a 38-game Premier League season.

Indeed, Salah has six more games to extend this incredible record even further for Liverpool, and the attacker looks primed to end the season with a flourish having now signed a new contract with the Reds.
