Liverpool returned to winning ways with a crucial 2–0 victory over West Ham United, breaking their recent losing streak and climbing to 8th place in the Premier League standings. Goals from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo secured the win, giving the defending champions a much-needed confidence boost as they push to re-enter the title race.

Liverpool Regain Form With Strong Second Half

After a cagey and hard-fought first half, Liverpool found their breakthrough in the second:

• 60’ — Alexander Isak scored his first goal for Liverpool since joining from Newcastle, calmly finishing after a well-worked attacking move.
  The goal marks an important milestone, signaling Isak’s integration into Klopp’s evolving frontline.
  
• 90+2’ — Cody Gakpo sealed the victory in stoppage time, firing home after a swift counterattack to make it 2–0 and silence the West Ham supporters.
  

Liverpool’s attacking intensity grew as the match progressed, while their defense remained disciplined, preventing West Ham from finding any rhythm.

West Ham Struggle to Break Through

West Ham had moments of pressure but failed to create clear scoring opportunities. Their biggest chance came late when Lucas Paquetá attempted to drag his side back into the match, but Liverpool’s backline held firm.

The Hammers’ inconsistency continues to hurt them, and this defeat adds pressure as they battle for a top-half position.

What the Result Means

Liverpool – Much-Needed Momentum

This win ends Liverpool’s losing run and moves them up to 8th place, injecting belief into a team fighting to defend their Premier League title.
Isak’s first goal and Gakpo’s late strike offer promising signs for the upcoming fixtures.

West Ham – Missed Opportunity at Home

West Ham remain stuck mid-table after failing to capitalize on home advantage. Their lack of creativity in the final third proved costly against a revitalized Liverpool side.
