MATCH REPORT: Liverpool 1-0 West Ham
Darwin Nunez's first Anfield goal for Liverpool and Jarrod Bowen's penalty miss helped Jurgen Klopp's side back-up Sunday's win over Manchester City with another three Premier League points in their 1-0 victory over West Ham, despite a nervy finish.

45+2: BLOCK! Where has this been from West Ham?
Cresswell puts in a good ball in which Liverpool clear as far as Downes, who has a free shot in the box.
The West Ham midfielder shoots but Van Dijk blocks.
WIDE! The last moment of the half sees Kehrer head wide from the corner when he should have done better.
PENALTY SAVED! Liverpool 1-0 West Ham
Alisson denies the West Ham foward!
Bowen goes to his Alisson's right and Liverpool's Brazilian goalkeeper is equal to it.
West Ham and David Moyes just don't get any luck at Anfield!

42: PENALTY APPEAL! Oooh, VAR could be getting involved here.
Bowen controls the ball in the Liverpool box and Gomez catches him on the back.
It *looks* like a penalty and the video technology is taking a look...

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 West Ham (Nunez, 22)
WHAT A HEADER!
Liverpool lead and it's a great move from the hosts.
Thiago spreads the ball out to Tsimikas, who has the time to set himself and whip a ball into the box.
Nunez gets across Kehrer and the front post and glances a bouncing header into the far one. Fabianski had no chance once the ball left his head.
FPL Assist: Tsimikas
Johnson is caught on the ball and suddenly Nunez is through down the left.
The striker has Salah for a tap-in at the back post but no striker is passing up that chance to shoot. Nunez has a go but Fabianski is equal to it at the near post.
Liverpool 0-0 West Ham
8: Gareth Southgate is at Anfield this evening, potentially watching the likes of Alexander-Arnold, Henderson and Bowen to check up on how they're doing.
Joe Gomez could well be scouted by the England boss as well, even at this late stage...

5: WIDE! West Ham are getting a bit sloppy now.
Fornals' sideways pass is careless and Thiago picks it up. Liverpool's No 6 feeds the No 9 in Firmino, who shoots from distance but drags the ball wide of Fabianski's near post.
