Liverpool Edge Closer to Premier League Glory After Dramatic Win Over West Ham

Liverpool's Premier League title dreams inched closer to reality after a nerve-racking 2-1 win over West Ham United at Anfield on Sunday evening.

The result, which followed Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday, now places Arne Slot’s men just two wins away from clinching the coveted league trophy, with only a handful of games remaining.

The Reds drew first blood as Mohamed Salah teed up Luis Diaz, who calmly slotted home in the first half to send Anfield into early celebration. Liverpool controlled large portions of the game, but football—as always—served up late drama.

In the dying minutes, disaster nearly struck as Andrew Robertson turned the ball into his own net, leveling the game at 1-1. But as champions do, Liverpool responded with resilience.

Just one minute before stoppage time, Virgil van Dijk rose high above the West Ham defense to power home a thunderous header, sealing all three points and reminding everyone why this team looks like title material.

OPINION:

This Liverpool side continues to prove that champions aren't just made of talent—they’re built on grit, heart, and timing. Arne Slot, in what could be a fairytale first season, has molded a squad that doesn’t just play beautiful football—they survive the toughest moments and still find ways to win.

As things stand, Liverpool are now 13 points clear of Arsenal, and just six points (or two wins) from wrapping up what could be a defining season in their history.

It’s not just a title race anymore—it’s Liverpool’s title to lose. And with Anfield roaring them on, few would bet against them finishing the job in style.
