ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Another six points.

That is all that Liverpool requires to confirm its inevitable 20th league title after Luis Diaz sent the Reds on their way to a win over West Ham United and Virgil van Dijk was required to pop up with a late winner.

Diaz put Liverpool in front in a dominant first half when Mohamed Salah's cross left him with an empty goal to pass into at the far post.



That it has happened so often is a big factor in why the Reds are so far ahead at the top of the Premier League table.

It had been a dominant showing but West Ham knew there was a chance for it to level with there only being a one-goal margin.

Slot would have liked it to be comfortable for the whole game but his side did just about do enough to get the win.

Those who came in did well enough — Tsimikas was solid but unspectacular, for instance — and Slot's side did just about enough to win the game and edge one more step closer to confirming the inevitable.
