Liverpool’s quest for Premier League glory got a dramatic boost Sunday with a 2-1 win over West Ham, blending nail-biting action and historic milestones. Mohamed Salah shattered the league’s 38-game season goal-involvement record (45!), while Virgil van Dijk’s 89th-minute header sparked *that* Anfield roar .
The match had it all: early fireworks (Salah’s magic assist for Luis Diaz), last-minute heart-stoppers (West Ham’s own-goal equalizer!), and a captain’s clutch moment . Van Dijk, playing his 100th game as skipper, channeled his inner superhero to head home the winner, leaving fans chanting his name louder than a Taylor Swift chorus .
Salah’s record-breaking moment came with a cheeky assist – a gravity-defying cross with the outside of his boot. But the Egyptian King stayed humble: "It’s about the team," he’d likely say, though we’re adding this to his highlight reel anyway .
The emotional pre-match Hillsborough tribute added gravity to the day, but the Reds turned grief into grit. Van Dijk’s post-match tease about his contract renewal? "Let’s see what next week brings," he said – cue frantic Twitter speculation .
With a 13-point lead and six games left, Liverpool’s title dreams are glowing brighter than a TikTok filter. West Ham? They’re sweating at 17th place – but hey, at least they gave us 90 minutes of pure drama .
