End of match

  • 93'
    That's the end of the game! Liverpool will be thrilled with the result, as they earned a clean sheet while dominating in the attacking third too. But make no mistake, as good as they were they were helped by some terrible defending from the away team. Manuel Pellegrini has spent a lot this summer, but the work is only just beginning with this squad.
  • 90'
    Three added minutes.
  • 90'
    Sturridge is in again after Robertson lifts a ball over the top, but his shot is straight at the keeper.

    I may be seeing things, but I'm sure a young fan just ran on to the pitch to say hello to Mo Salah before politely leaving when the Egyptian beckoned him off the pitch...
  • 76'
    Liverpool are continuing to have chances but their final ball has been lacking in the last 20 minutes.

  • 53'
    GOAL!!! West Ham won't be happy! It's a clinical right-footed finish from Mane, as he turns to blast the ball home low. However, he was clearly offside when the ball came from Roberto Firmino.

    Antonio with a late challenge on Alexander Arnold.
  • 49'
    Felipe Anderson heads it on, but Michail Antonio skies an attempted volleyed finish.
  • 46'
    West Ham get the game going again.
  • 45'
    Liverpool fans will be ecstatic with that performance. They were quick out of the blocks and looked to out their opponents on the back foot. In truth, Salah could have had a hat-trick if it wasn't for some good work by Fabianski. 2-0 is nothing less than the home side has deserved.
  • 45'
    GOAL!!! On the stroke of half time, Andy Robertson swings the ball across to Milner, who hooks it back for Mane to tap in. West Ham's defenders were nowhere to be seen.

    West Ham have slightly edged their way back in to this one, but will need to change something in the second half to deal with Liverpool's all-out attacking style.
  • 37'
    Firmino drives forward well and finds Salah in the box, but it's straight at the keeper who does well to remain big.
  • 36'
    Salah has a shot from outside of the box, but it's easily saved by Fabianski.
  • 30'
    Liverpool call for a hand ball against Ogbonna, but it clearly hits his shoulder.
  • 27'
    It's the first effort West Ham have had on goal, but Arnautovic can only shoot wide.
  • 24'
    Wonderful effort from the teenager! Alexander Arnold almost scores withe the free kick, but Fabianski does well to keep it out.
  • 23'
    Noble slides in illegally on Firmino. Milner and Alexander Arnold stand over it.

    GOAL! One season wonder? I don't think so! After a good run Keita feeds Robertson, who sends a ball across the face of goal for Mo Salah to prod home.
  • 18'
    Another teasing ball in to the area by Milner, and yet again it's just out of reach of a Liverpool boot.
  • 16'
    James Milner floats in a great ball from the right, but Mane can't quite get there before Fabianski claims it.
  • 12'
    Salah almost pulls off a wonderful turn, but Ogbonna does well to wrestle the ball of the winger.

    Salah slides in a nice ball for Firmino, but he can't get a shot away in time before the West Ham defence recovers.
  • 6'
    Mane caught offside, bringing to an end a period of sustained pressure by Liverpool in the opposition half.
  • 5'
    Trent Alexander Arnold gets his first chance to swing a cross in, but it's overcooked. Energetic start to this game by both teams.
  • 1'
    James Milner kicks off the match.
