It was a tactical and strategic game plan that David Moyes and his men implemented brilliantly on the field. By outfighting and outthinking their much-fancied opponents, West Ham exposed the chinks in Liverpool players’ armours and laid the blueprint for defeating the Reds.
For the Hammers, it was looking for opportunities to counterattack that contributed to the win. The match turned out to be another brilliant performance for David Moyes and his team, who used their physicality to dominate in set-pieces and catch opponents on their fast-paced counterattacks.
Liverpool vs Westham odds seemed to be in the Hammers’ favour since the beginning. The first goal was scored by West Ham, who took the lead with their first attack through a Pablo Fornal corner that was given as an own goal. The rest of the first half was dominated by the Reds as they had most of the possession and laid siege to the West Ham defense.
Ultimately, they were able to equalize through a Trent Alexander-Arnold special. His stunning free kick from 20 yards away was the only shot on target for Liverpool in the entire first half.
The second half was a more pulsating affair as the game ebbed and flowed with both teams wrestling the initiative. In the end though, the Hammers scored twice through Fornal and Bowen before Origi pulled one back for the Reds in the 83rd minute. But by then, it was too late as the Hammers held on for a famous home win.
