“It’s just a crime.” Liverpool scored the most humiliating goal of the day

“It’s just a crime.” Liverpool scored the most humiliating goal of the day

Although it is still not so clear which of the goals scored against West Ham was the most offensive.

Liverpool have a good chance of winning the Premier League this season, with a game against leaders Arsenal on Saturday. For this reason, it appears that key players Alison, Trent, Salah and Dias were missing in the League Cup against West Ham. The Londoners also left several key players on the bench, including Paquetá, who gave three assists on the last day of the Premier League.

Liverpool looked confident even without leaders. Suffice it to say that in the 25th minute the score in shots was 8:0. Elliott, who recently scored the winning goal against Palace, scored more than anyone else and has since become even bolder in taking the game into his own hands. Well, the ninth shot of the game was effective.

Liverpool lost the ball in the opponent’s half, but West Ham could not make more than one pass. Kuansa pinned the opponents and passed to Szoboszlai. The Liverpool newcomer shot from outside the area. With strength and precision at the bottom angle: 1:0. Dominic’s fourth goal for Liverpool in all competitions.

And towards the end of the first half, Gakpo should have scored the second goal, but his header went wide of the goal. Before the break, West Ham failed to create anything in attack. Not even half a moment. Well, at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool ended the intrigue of the match.

The team’s most criticized player, Darwin Núñez, assisted Curtis Jones. The midfielder scored from a very tight angle. From this position the ball rarely enters the goal, but it helped that goalkeeper Areola had his feet wide apart. Jones sent the ball between them.

Immediately afterwards, Salah and Trent entered the Liverpool field, as if to finish off West Ham. The hosts enjoyed the goal between the opponent’s legs so much that Gakpo did the same, only in this case the ball went through the defender and not the goalkeeper, 3:0. Only after that (when the shot score was 22-0) did West Ham take their first shot: Kudus fired over the crossbar. But the guests’ next shot was accurate.

Bowen escaped Quansa’s tutelage and hit the top corner with a beautiful dribble, but there was no sign of a comeback. Almost immediately, Salah confronted the goalkeeper and scored Liverpool’s fourth goal in this match. Curiously, this is the Egyptian’s eleventh goal against West Ham: the Londoners have not conceded more than anyone else. And then Jones again distinguished himself after a solo pass, when absolutely no one forced him to fight at a distance of 30 meters. Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher said live: “This is simply a crime on West Ham’s part.” Jurgen Klopp looked at him with that face.

Liverpool are the last semi-finalists in this season’s League Cup. Previously, Chelsea, Fulham and Middlesbrough had already arrived there. In the semifinals, the teams will have to play not one, but two games against each other.
