Liverpool's Premier League domination continues, their lead at the top of the table now stands at an almighty 19 points.

The Reds moved on to 41 games unbeaten in the top flight with a 23rd win in 24 games this season as West Ham United were comprehensively beaten 2-0 at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.

Goals from Moahmed Salah and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and some excellent work in between the sticks from Alisson were the difference.

Ian Doyle was on ratings for the ECHO and was impressed with two players in particular.

Alisson Becker and Roberto Firmino scored the top mark of 9, after the Brazilian duo shone during the match.

Similarly impressive was Salah who was the only player to receive a score of 8.

There were no players who struggled to hit the heights, with every other man in the team  scoring 7 for excellent performances in the capital.
