Liverpool, England – Virgil van Dick It turned towards Kop and exit from the roar of the Almighty. The 33 -year -old captain goal in the 89th minute against West Ham United I had just regained Liverpool in Anfield, and put them on the threshold of a valuable victory 2-1, which prompted them to approach the claim Premier League address.
Three minutes ago, his bad referee, the left back, Andy Robertson scored his own goal after a talisman of pressure on West Ham-in three defeats from their past four matches in all competitions-everything started a little bit for Reds over the hour. But with a few minutes staying, Van Digik was hit, and there was a pandimon in the stands. On the touch line, coach ARNE Slot celebrated his reservation only for the largest moments this season.
Certainly, this result was great for Liverpool When they opened 13 points at the top of the second place Arsenal (With Gunners lying more points in a tie with Bernard On Saturday), he added more weight to the belief that they would be crowning as a hero now inevitable.
The league leaders demanded a late rescue law from the team captain to see a team currently occupying the seventeenth place in the table that reflects a recent decrease in their performance levels. But the winning league titles are supposed to be easy, and Liverpool was masters to find a way to overcome the line this season.
The era of the opening in Anfield was largely fixed since its replacement with Jurgen Klopp last summer, but last month Liverpool witnessed multiple fronts, with the opposite of 3-2 last week last week Fulham Add pressure to convert a small crisis.
From the start against West Ham, Liverpool played with a type of separation and perseverance that was severely lacking Craven Cottage; They seemed simply faster, more clear and hungry than they have been in recent weeks.
Louis Diaz I was drawn early from Alfons Ariola before Mohamed Salah A wide -scale spiral ball of this position. However, any of the players will not have a long time to wait, before they again found themselves at the center of the event, as Diaz took advantage of Salah Samia’s help after 18 minutes.
Just two days after confirming that Salah has signed a new extension for two years in Liverpool, and finally ended speculation about his future, the 32 -year -old presented another example of his importance in Anfield. When doing this, he broke the record for most goals and helps in the Premier League season 38 (45), bypassing the previous record that Terry Henry maintains in 2002-2003 and Erling Halland In 2023-24 (44).
Before kicking the ball on Sunday afternoon, Salah was by an Anfield crowd. Perhaps he was not a hidden attack for a long time of uncertainty, as the attacker turned into a Sami show in the first half to put his team firmly in the driver’s seat against the Graham Potter side.
At that point, I felt it was only a matter of time before opening the flood gates. But Liverpool could not really make their domination, making them vulnerable to the emergence of West Ham after the end of the first half. goalkeeper Alison Baker He was called to work on several occasions, which leads to an amazing stopping of his denial Garrod Bowen And vitality Mohamed Kodos. Visitors got their reward in the 86th minute when a defensive mix between the substitute Robertson and Van Dick converted the ball to the back of the Liverpool network of the equivalent.
It was a mistake I felt a software for the last narrow of REDS, and with leaving six games, it seems that Slot will have some embarrassing questions to answer them. But if one of the distinctive features of the heroes responds to the reserve, Liverpool has shown their title adoption data as Van Dick was highlighting his head with a head of Alexis Alecters The corner is only two minutes of time.
The importance of the goal was emphasized through the celebration of the captain. Van Dijk is usually one of the most amazing characters in the Premier League a rare moment of emotional release while he raised his chest and before the Liverpool badge.
With a contract ending in the summer, the future of the Dutch is still unclear, and after the match when interrogating it in its future, he remained shy. However, there is an expectation that the defender will be reduced for two years in the coming days, and with Salah’s signature really guaranteed, keeping Van Dijk’s services alongside those in Alisson (which suffers from the contract in 2027) feels integrated to ensure the success of Liverpool in the future.
“It will not just be just talking about them [Van Dijk, Salah and Alisson]But as a manager, you are looking for the players who have already achieved a lot in their career to escalate in the most important moments of the season, “Slot said:” At the end of the season, the moments became larger and bigger today.
“Alison is likely to have his best game in this season, as Virgil scored the head for three points; he was not very important in the first goal. He was really vital in the first half, and I saw MOAlah that we saw most of the season.”
In a competition that was balanced on the edge of a knife, it was three of the most experienced players in Liverpool that made the team. They already have a legendary position on the Merseyside, and this will only be established if they can help closing the title with the six points that the club needs now.
