Watch: Mo Salah finishes Liverpool's incredible counter-attack against West Ham

Champions Liverpool stayed in touching distance from Premier League leaders Manchester City as Mohamed Salah’s double brace helped them to a comfortable 3-1 win at West Ham United on Sunday.

For the second time in four days, Liverpool enjoyed a visit to London as the Reds followed Thursday’s 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur with another dominant display that puts them right back in the battle to be champions.

Five league games without a win had considerably weakened Liverpool’stitle defence but they are ticking over again and the fortunes could well change when they host Manchester City at Anfield next weekend.

Salah was at the end of an incredible breakaway goal when Liverpool converted a defensive situation to an opportunity in a matter of seconds. Full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold picked out Xherdan Shaqiri in the wing who played a first-time cross which Salah controlled brilliantly in the penalty box to nod past a helpless Łukasz Fabiański.

Watch the goal:

“We spoke a lot in the last few weeks, as you can imagine,” Klopp said. “These boys are a really good group. They are not happy with not being successful.

“They always have the right attitude. But they need the right information as well. Now we have found a way again to be uncomfortable for other teams.”

Salah, who had not registered a goal in the league since December, scored two after the half-time break before Gini Wijnaldum added a third. Craig Dawson’s late goal was little consolation for West Ham whose four-game winning league run ended abruptly.
