West Ham vs Liverpool LIVE: Pellegrini and Klopp press conference news and reaction to 1-1 draw

West Ham vs Liverpool LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: London Stadium

Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League table now stands at just three points after Jurgen Klopp's side could only muster a 1-1 draw against West Ham at the London Stadium.

The visitors took the lead in controversial circumstances when an offside James Milner teed up Sadio Mane, who opened the scoring in the 22nd minute.

West Ham took just six minutes to respond, however, when Felipe Anderson's free-kick found Michail Antonio, whose subsequent shot flew across the face of the goal and into the far corner of the net.

The draw means Liverpool's five-point lead at the top of the standings stands at just three, with champions City now able to overtake the Reds should they beat Everton at Goodison Park in midweek.

The Hammers, meanwhile, remain in 12th place but crucially ended a run of three straight defeats in all competitions with their hard-earned point against Liverpool.
