Liverpool’s aspirations for clinching the Premier League title were dealt a significant blow as West Ham managed to salvage a point at London Stadium.
Initially, Jarrod Bowen broke the deadlock just before halftime, capitalizing on Mohammed Kudus’ well-placed cross. Liverpool’s lackluster response to their recent Merseyside derby defeat raised doubts about their resilience.
However, the visitors showed renewed vigor in the second half, with Andy Robertson equalizing from a precise delivery by Luis Diaz. Liverpool’s persistence paid off as Cody Gakpo’s deflected shot found its way into the net, seemingly putting them on course for a crucial victory. Yet, Michail Antonio’s powerful header dashed their hopes of a comeback.
Liverpool’s current standing, third in the table with only three games remaining, paints a bleak picture for their title aspirations. With a two-point gap behind leaders Arsenal, and Manchester City lurking close behind with games in hand, Liverpool’s fate appears increasingly reliant on the missteps of their rivals. As the season draws to a close, the once-promising title race now seems a distant dream for the Reds.
