*33' VERY CLOSE! The free-kick of Alexander-Arnold is inches wide. *
Unbelievable! 39' Alexander-Arnold clears the goal line. *CLOSE TO 48'! Robertson accomplishes a significant feat. *
*64' VERY CLOSE! Diaz's shot was wide open. *
*70' Incredible! What a blunder by Lanzini. *
*'80' ONCE MORE! Antonio's attempt was stopped. *
*Yellow Card at 88'! Jota has made a reservation. *
*Liverpool snatched a 1-0 win at West Ham thanks to Sadio Mane's first-half goal, moving them three points behind league leaders Manchester City. *
The Reds were far from their best, and the Champions League-chasing Hammers could have earned a point if they had kept their cool, but gilt-edged chances missed in both half allowed the hosts to win for the 12th time in a row.
*VAR validated Mane's goal after he latched onto Trent Alexander-cross-cum-shot Arnold's and fired past Lukasz Fabianski from six yards, having perfectly timed his move to stay on the right side of defender Craig Dawson. *
*When Luis Diaz's shot was cleared off the line by Aaron Cresswell, Liverpool could have extended their lead, but West Ham could have equalized when Alexander-Arnold was called upon to hook Pablo Fornals' effort away after he had lobbed Alisson. *
*After Diaz came close to adding a second for Liverpool after the break, Manuel Lanzini squandered the best chance of the game to draw level, deftly controlling Tomas Soucek's right-wing cross before firing wide from six yards with the goal open ahead of him. *
