Liverpool took a big step towards the Premier League title, winning a fierce 2-1 battle with West Ham United, extending their lead at the top following a slip-up against Arsenal’s Brentford.
As a result, Reds 13 points have been cleared from the tracking pack, with only a few games remaining, so the dream for the 20th league title is beginning to come true.
After signing a new two-year deal on Friday, Mohamed Sara wasted no time making an impact. In the 17th minute, the Egyptian forward created a magical moment, passing through a stunning assist for Louis Diaz.
Liverpool dominated the first half, but missed the chance as Hammer stayed in the contest.
West Ham got stronger in the second half and was rewarded late. The misunderstanding between Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dyke in the 86th minute led to an unfortunate goal by Robertson, leveling the score.
However, the Liverpool captain made an immediate correction on the other side just three minutes later. Mac Allister entered the tasty cross from the horn, and Van Dijk won the Liverpool game past West Ham Keeper, celebrating by kissing Bade.

In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Mohamed Sara appeared to have a tongue slip, giving a big hint to Virgil van Dyke’s contract situation.
Speaking about his own contract renewal, he seemed to suggest that Virgil van Dik was also closer to signing:
“I’m glad they managed to do that before the end of the season.
Realizing immediately he shouldn’t make the news, he laughed and said:
“I just want – so hopefully he can do whatever he wants, but I want to see him again next year.”
Sarah and Vandik are at the heart of Liverpool’s revival this season. Both deserved to be able to contribute to Liverpool’s latest important victory.
As the season approaches its final stretch, Liverpool is becoming more like Champions Elect. The talismanic duo leads to the on and off pitch charges.
