Mohamed Salah broke his six-game Premier League scoreless streak on Sunday as Liverpool beat West Ham 3-1 at the London Stadium.
Salah scored the first two to put Liverpool in control. Georginio Wijnaldum added a third on 84 minutes before Craig Dawson grabbed a consolation goal for West Ham two minutes later.
Salah’s second strike marked his 90th Premier League goal and put him in pole position in the race for the 2020-21 Golden Boot.
“It’s a good win for us — they are a tough team,” Salah said after the game.
The result means Liverpool jump above Leicester City — who lost 3-1 to Leeds United earlier in the day — to third place while West Ham are in fifth.
