Liverpool striker, Darwin Nunez, netted a brilliant goal as his side romped to a 3-1 Premier League win over a dogged West Ham United side at Anfield on Sunday, deftly steering home a volley on the hour mark.
Reuters reports that the visitors were left to rue some early misses when Mohamed Salah was felled by Nayef Aguerd in the 15th minute for a stonewall penalty, and the Egyptian attacker stepped up to smash home the resulting spot kick to give Liverpool the lead.
That kick-started the home side, but the Hammers still managed to level before the break when Jarrod Bowen dived at the feet of Virgil van Dijk to score with a superb low header for his fourth goal of the season.
Nunez latched on to a lofted pass from Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota hooked the ball home from a late corner to grab a win that leaves them in second spot in the table on 16 points, two behind leaders Manchester City, while West Ham are seventh on 10 points.
