Liverpool seems to be able to forget the league title this season. The Dutch-style team of coach Jürgen Klopp had to win at West Ham United on Saturday to have a realistic chance of winning the championship, but drew 2-2.

In a week in which Liverpool was mainly about the impending arrival of Arne Slot, Liverpool wanted to recover from the midweek 2-0 defeat at Everton. Nevertheless, the start was not good for ‘The Reds’.

Although Liverpool were stronger in the London Stadium and hit the post through Luis Diaz, West Ham took the lead. Jarrod Bowen headed the ball past goalkeeper Alisson Becker just before half time.

Liverpool turned things around via Andy Robertson (a hidden shot) and an own goal – created by a shot by Cody Gakpo. But Michail Antonio made the final score 2-2 with a clever header.

Gakpo, Van Dijk and Gravenberch played the entire match with Klopp’s team, which lost for the second time in a row. A dream farewell with a national title does not seem to be possible for the retiring coach.

Premier League leader Arsenal has two points more, but also played one game less. City is one point ahead of Liverpool, but has played two fewer matches.
