Liverpool stumble over West Ham and walk away from the title

Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw away to West Ham on Saturday, significantly reducing their chances of winning the English league title. The Reds still have to play 0 games.

With two draws and two defeats in the last five league games, Jürgen Klopp’s men have 75 points, behind Arsenal (1st, 77 points) and Manchester City (2nd, 76 points) who have one and two games to contend with respectively.

In addition, the calendar does not encourage optimism for Liverpool supporters, with final meetings against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton.

In the first period, Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham the advantage with a header from a cross (43rd, 1-0), scoring his 16th goal of the season in the Premier League, 20th in all competitions. The Reds managed to equalize just after the break on a slow attack from Andy Robertson placed beyond Areola’s reach (48th, 1-1). On the momentum, they managed to take the advantage after a mix-up in the 65th minute (1-2).

However, the “Hammers” managed to respond via Bowen, who delivered a perfect cross for the head of Michail Antonio, who was too alone in the area (77th, 2-2).
