Recap

Liverpool were never troubled by West Ham, who barely showed up for Saturday's contest, save for a short spell after substitute Michail Antonio had reduced the Reds' lead to two goals.

Emre Can opened the scoring in the first half, before a quick double from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino appeared to put West Ham away. After Antonio's goal, Sadio Mane responded, putting the final score on the board.

As shared by sportswriter Mootaz Chehade, Salah made history in the process:

It was the kind of result the Reds needed ahead of the major matches playing out on Sunday and Monday. The pressure will be on United to hold off Chelsea at Old Trafford, while Spurs travel across London for a tricky visit to Crystal Palace. In midweek, Arsenal take on City.

Per Anfield HQ, manager Jurgen Klopp didn't care too deeply about passing United in the standings, as it could be only temporary:

Elsewhere, Manolo Gabbiadini saved a late point for Southampton at Burnley after Ashley Barnes had given the hosts the lead.

The Italian blasted home from close range with a volley, and per MailOnline Sport, it had been some time since he found the net:

Brighton took care of business at home against Swansea, putting some distance between themselves and the clubs stuck in the relegation zone, and Leicester could only manage a 1-1 draw against Stoke.
