Luis DÃaz opened the scoring in the 30th minute, capitalizing on a deflection to put Liverpool ahead. Cody Gakpo doubled the lead before halftime, following a skillful setup by Mohamed Salah. Salah then added a third goal just before the break, bringing his season tally to 20 goals.
In the second half, Trent Alexander-Arnold increased the lead to 4-0 with a deflected shot in the 54th minute. Substitute Diogo Jota completed the rout in the 75th minute, scoring the fifth goal after another assist from Salah.
This dominant performance not only reinforces Liverpool's position at the summit of the Premier League but also intensifies the pressure on West Ham's manager, Julen Lopetegui. The Hammers struggled to contain Liverpool's attacking prowess throughout the match.
Liverpool now have 45 points from 18 games, with an eight-point cushion over second-placed Nottingham Forest, who have played one more game.
Mohamed Salah's exceptional form continues to be a driving force for Liverpool. His goal and two assists in this match mean he has been directly involved in 37 goals this season, setting unprecedented milestones in the Premier League.
Liverpool's next fixture will see them aiming to maintain their impressive run as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.
