Wednesday Recap

After steadily building up a head of steam over the course of the first half against the anonymous Everton, Liverpool took a deserved lead through Divock Origi shortly before the break when he outjumped John Stones to head home James Milner's cross.

Mamadou Sakho fired in a bullet header of his own just minutes later, with Milner the provider once again. Football writer Liam Canning noted the Reds' improvement under new manager Jurgen Klopp:

The match took a dark turn five minutes into the second period when Ramiro Funes Mori lunged in on Origi—a challenge that not only saw Funes Mori rightly earn a red card but also ended the Belgian's evening and saw him carried from the pitch on a stretcher, via Sky Sports:

Daniel Sturridge scored from close range after latching onto Lucas Leiva's probing through ball, and Philippe Coutinho added the fourth with an excellent low curler from the edge of the area. As Sky Sports revealed, they could have had far more against their hapless opponents:

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher gave a damning verdict of the Toffees' performance, per Sky Sports:

United were gifted an early goal in their match with Palace when Damien Delaney turned in Matteo Darmian's cross just four minutes in.

The Italian bagged the Red Devils' second 10 minutes after the restart with a sublime effort, rocketing a half-volley in off the post from 18 yards.

While Palace were hardly as poor as Everton, United could also have had several more goals as they attacked well throughout the game, and it was only a strong performance from 'keeper Julian Speroni that stopped them from scoring further.

Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News reflected on the positive showing:

Andy Carroll got West Ham off to a bright start when he volleyed in their opener 11 minutes in.

The Irons earned two penalties after Jose Holebas fouled Diafra Sakho and Almen Abdi felled Michail Antonio, but unlike in his match against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, Heurelho Gomes was unable to prevent Mark Noble from dispatching both spot-kicks, per Squawka Football:

Sebastian Prodl clawed one back for the Hornets, but there would be no memorable comeback, and Nordin Amrabat received his marching orders in injury time for picking up his second booking.

With United and Liverpool also winning—and the latter having a game in hand—West Ham's chances of finishing in the Champions League positions are slim, their four consecutive draws proving costly.

However, their rivals are still in the FA Cup and UEFA Europa League, respectively, so with fewer games to concentrate on, the Hammers may be able to sneak ahead of the pair.
