(The Guardian) 50 min: Felipe Anderson skips past a couple of challenges, and suddenly the whole pitch opens up for West Ham. Liverpool look horribly exposed, but Fornals chooses the wrong option, passing left when Snodgrass was clean through on the right and the attack fizzles out. Liverpool looking a bit ropey without the ball, here!

(The Guardian) 51 min: Yellow card for Declan Rice, who was late in the challenge on (I think) Keïta. He’ll have to be careful for the next 40 minutes.

(The Guardian) 53 min: “I am impressed with the West Ham team performance today except for Felipe Anderson,” emails Kevin Willis. “Is this how he normally plays? He is constantly giving the ball away or making poor choices.” I would beg to differ, Kevin. The Brazilian is being asked to do a lot more defensive work today, and he is mostly doing it effectively. He’s probably West Ham’s best player and has the pace to hurt Liverpool on the counter-attack.

...uh-oh! (The Guardian) GOAL! Liverpool 1-2 West Ham (Fornals 55)What a move this is, some lovely touches in midfield from Noble, Snodgrass to build the play up methodically, before Rice whips in an early cross that leaves Liverpool’s centre backs on their heels. Fornals makes a late run into the box and sweeps the ball into the corner with a first-time finish. Right in the corner, that was. Brilliant. West Ham deserve their lead!

(The Guardian) 57 min: Liverpool make an immediate change: Oxlade-Chamberlain comes on for Keïta, who has been pretty anonymous.
58 min: Oxlade-Chamberlain tries his luck from range, his effort flying two yards wide. The Englishman scored an excellent goal last month at the London Stadium, remember.

(The Guardian) 60 min: For the first time in a long time, there is a sense of disquiet among the home fans at Anfield. There is a nervousness in the air, and some jeers when errors are made. Interesting to see how Jürgen Klopp’s side react.

(The Guardian) 61 min: West Ham have been the better side here, but are in danger of reverting to type, dropping deep and inviting pressure onto them.

(The Guardian) 62 min: Brilliant tackle from Ngakia! Mané was through on goal after a neat backheel from Robertson, but the teenager just got back to toe the ball away from the Sengalese. That is a challenge that Zabaleta simply wouldn’t have been able to make, owing to his lack of pace. Ngakia is having quite the game at right back.

(The Guardian) 63 min: Oxlade-Chamberlain has given Liverpool a renewed thrust in central midfield, as Liverpool pour forward in search of an equaliser. Alexander-Arnold tries his luck from distance, his shot swerving and dipping, but Fabianski does well to get two hands to the ball, pushing it behind for a corner, from which Firmino heads well over.

(The Guardian) 65 min: A very interesting substitution from Moyes: Felipe Anderson off, Sebastian Haller on. You could understand why West Ham have made the change – Haller holding up the ball, getting the Hammers up the pitch – but most of their pace has evaporated with that change. Weird one.
67 min: Diop is penalised for a perfectly good tackle in midfield. The Frenchman gets a yellow card but has been excellent tonight.

...and the Egyptian King comes to the rescue! (The Guardian) GOAL! Liverpool 2-2 West Ham (Salah 68)Another terrible error from Fabianski! I was just about to praise Fabianski for his bravery in collecting some high balls, but this is an awful, awful mistake to gift Liverpool an equaliser. Robertson showed excellent pace to get around Snodgrass to the byline, cutting the ball back to Salah on the penalty spot. The Egyptian hit his shot first time, low and straight at Fabianski, but the Pole let the ball trickle through his legs, just over the line. Bring back Roberto! liverpool scarf-1 liverpool scarf-1

(The Guardian) 71 min: Here come Liverpool again. They have 20 minutes to find a winner and avoid dropping points for the first time in over a year.

(The Guardian) 73 min: How have Liverpool not scored here?! A deep cross evades everybody but Salah, who steals in at the back post and stabs a low shot towards goal. Fabianski saves with his feet, but the ball pops up kindly for Firmino at the back post. The Brazilian looks like he must surely score, but the ball slightly goes past him, and Firmino can only hook it onto the post from an acute angle. With Liverpool shooting towards the Kop, this could be a matter of time.

(The Guardian) 76 min: West Ham make a rare break forward – Antonio has been excellent in carrying the ball through midfield since Felipe Anderson went off – but Haller can only hit a powerful effort straight at Alisson. Haller has done next to nothing since coming on, it really was a very strange substitution from Moyes when West Ham were winning 2-1.

(The Guardian) 78 min: Ogbonna and Diop have been magnificent at the heart of West Ham’s defence. The Italian does well to chase down Salah and make a tackle on the Liverpool forward before he can get into the West Ham box.
