West Ham

West Ham dealt a blow to Liverpool's hopes of clinching the Premier League title on Saturday, as they fought back to secure a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium.

Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring for the home side in the closing minutes of a lackluster first half, but Liverpool responded strongly after the break, with Andy Robertson equalizing.

A bizarre own goal by Alphonse Areola put Liverpool ahead 20 minutes into the second half, but West Ham refused to concede defeat, with Michail Antonio leveling the score in the 77th minute.

The draw leaves Liverpool in third place in the table with 75 points, one point behind Manchester City, the defending champions, who have two games in hand. Meanwhile, Arsenal leads the table with 77 points and a game in hand over Liverpool.
