Resignation of Liverpool… and Klopp-Salah war

In the east of the English capital more specifically. The defeat of the networks The Merseyside derby was painful, but the draw at the London Stadium seems definitive. The low point achieved against the Liverpool fans is so painful for Liverpool fans. hammers like seeing your two highest standards arguing in the band.

The umpteenth comeback of the networks It was left halfway and started a fire. While Michail Antonio celebrates the final 2-2, with which West Ham restored the tie to a score that after the hour mark reflected the momentary victory of the visitors, Jürgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah had a few words on the line. The Egyptian, who was a substitute, ordered the German to silence.

Without Mohamed Salah or Darwin Núñez, or the football played by hammers and networksnor the atmosphere of the London Stadium favored the show. Although Jürgen Klopp’s men were in control of the game, the slow and fluid circulation did not allow Liverpool to generate great attacking opportunities. Not even the double penalty committed in favor of the visiting team ended up encouraging the match, since The play was annulled due to a previous offside by Luis Díaz.

The backlashes of the hammers They did not come to fruition and the countless balls hung in the heart of the area, by both teams, did not find finishers. When everything seemed to indicate that the first 45 minutes would end with a shot against the post by Andy Robertson and Alisson’s save from Jarrod Bowen’s shot as the most notable plays, David Moyes’ pupils achieved a decisive goal for the Premier League aspirations of the networks. West Ham took a quick corner and the aforementioned Jarrod Bowen, small but tough, made a space inside the area to finish with a header and beat the Brazilian goalkeeper. Bad first half, and even worse result, for Liverpool. One more.

Klopp-Salah fire

Such was Liverpool’s step forward after the break that, before the 49th minute, they had already tied the score. Andy Robertson’s goal from inside the area ended up overturning the visitors over Alphonse Aréola’s goalwhich with a recital of interventions at times stopped the networks. Then, luck allied itself with Jürgen Klopp’s pupils.
