ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Liverpool is a maximum of six points away from being confirmed as Premier League champion after Arne Slot's side narrowly beat West Ham United at Anfield thanks to a dramatic late winner from Virgil van Dijk.

In a dominant first half, it took just 18 minutes for Mohamed Salah to register an assist as he crossed low for Luis Diaz to finish.

It was composed and calm — exactly what Arne Slot wants.

Things plateaued a bit in the second half but Cody Gakpo and Andy Robertson injected some fresh energy into things.

Carlos Soler fired over from a decent position but Liverpool never felt under that much threat even though there was only one goal in it and Alisson had to be alert.

Losers

Darwin Nunez was not involved in the matchday squad here, with Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa the options in reserve.

He was twisting and turning with the ball and fizzed a couple of efforts at goal early in the game.

The main focus through the game was on Diaz and Salah out wide but Jota, playing down the middle, linked things well enough at times.

Chosen ahead of Cody Gakpo off the left-hand side, the Colombian scored the opening goal of the game (his 15th strike of the campaign to date) when he popped up at the far post.
