Liverpool edges West Ham 2-1, Salah sets assist record

Liverpool secured a narrow 2-1 victory against West Ham United, moving closer to their second Premier League title. Mohamed Salah set a new record for most goal involvements in a 38-game season, assisting Luis Diaz's opener before West Ham equalized through an own goal by Andy Robertson. Virgil Van Dijk scored a late header to clinch the win for Liverpool, who now hold a 13-point lead over second-placed Arsenal. Despite the win, Liverpool's performance has been described as unconvincing, with West Ham showing stronger form in the second half. Salah's contract extension has been seen as crucial for Liverpool's title aspirations, as they need just six more points to secure the championship. West Ham, on the other hand, remains in the relegation zone after extending their winless run to five matches.
