Liverpool just three points ahead of Manchester City after they failed to win against West Ham
Liverpool missed the chance to move five points clear of Manchester City again at the top of the Premier League as Michail Antonio’s equaliser meant they were held to a 1-1 draw away to West Ham.
Jurgen Klopp’s side went in front through Sadio Mane at London Stadium on Monday, although the goal should have been disallowed for a clear offside in the build-up.

But Antonio quickly levelled for the Hammers, with his fourth career goal against Liverpool leaving the league leaders just three points clear of chasing City, who had defeated Arsenal 3-1 the previous day.
And the result could have been even worse for the Reds, Declan Rice wasting a free header shortly before the interval, although substitute Divock Origi almost won it in added time.

Post match klopp wasnt the satisfied about the match and was very much aware as they might losse the position of table leaders. He added “I said we could have played better tonight, 100 per cent, but it’s the situation and it’s not perfect.” Jürgen Klopp felt a point was a deserved outcome for Liverpool in tonight’s 1-1 draw with West Ham”
