The Reds took the lead in the first half after Mohamed Salah scored from the spot. West Ham defender Issa Diop brought down Divock Origi in the box, resulting in the penalty. However, Liverpool leading by a slender margin forced West Ham to come at Liverpool's defence. This inadvertently played in Liverpool's hand, allowing the Premier League leaders to hit West Ham with a lightning-quick counter-attack. 

In the 51st minute of the game, Jordan Henderson caught the Hammers on the break. The 29-year-old found Mohamed Salah before the Egyptian curled a perfectly-weighted pass into Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's path. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain showed great strength to keep the ball from Manuel Lanzini before tucking the ball into the back of the net with a tidy finish. Astonishingly, Chamberlain had the ball across the line just 8 seconds after Henderson’s pass to spark the chance. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has scored 6 times in 27 games this season.
