Liverpool Close in on Premier League Title with West Ham Victory

Liverpool edged closer to their first Premier League title since 2020 with a dramatic 2-1 win over West Ham at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds are now just two victories away from securing the trophy, sitting 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with only a few games left.

Arne Slot’s side entered the match with an eight-point cushion after Arsenal stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Brentford. Determined to take full advantage, Liverpool started brightly, and their early pressure paid off when Luis Diaz fired in the opener following a clever assist from Mohamed Salah.

Despite dominating large parts of the game, Liverpool were pegged back late on when Andrew Robertson inadvertently deflected the ball into his own net, handing West Ham an unlikely equaliser.

But Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk came to the rescue in the 89th minute, rising highest to nod home a crucial header from a corner and restore the lead, sparking wild celebrations in the stands.

The win moves Liverpool 13 points clear at the top of the table and means they now only need six points from their remaining fixtures to be crowned champions.

With Arsenal faltering and Manchester City trailing further behind, Liverpool’s grip on the title race appears stronger than ever. The focus now shifts to their next fixture, where another victory could bring them within touching distance of domestic glory.

The result continues a remarkable season under Slot, who has kept the team focused and consistent in the title chase. Fans at Anfield will be dreaming of silverware again as the Reds edge closer to their 20th league crown.
