Liverpool Stunned by Soaring West Ham
LONDON (AP) -- West Ham United moved up to third in the Premier League, overtaking Liverpool after a thrilling 3-2 win over Jurgen Klopp’s side.
West Ham’s effectiveness from set-pieces was decisive as Liverpool keeper Alisson punched a fourth-minute corner into his own net when under pressure.
Pablo Fornals put West Ham 2-1 ahead from a set-piece after Trent Alexander Arnold had also equalized for Liverpool from a free-kick and Kurt Zouma header David Moyes’s men 3-1 up from a corner with 15 minutes left to play.
Divock Origi set up a grandstand finish with his 83rd-minute goal for Liverpool and Sadio Mane missed a chance to make it 3-3 in injury time as West Ham held on for a deserved three points.
Bruno Conte’s first league game in charge at Tottenham ended in a 0-0 draw away to Everton, who ended with 10 men after Mason Holgate’s injury-time red card for a bad foul on Ben Davis.
Everton thought they had a 63rd-minute penalty after Hugo Lloris’s challenge on Richarlison, but it was overturned by the VAR and Conte will be worried his side didn’t manage a single shot between the posts all game.
Emile Smith-Rowe’s first-half strike made it three wins in three games for Arsenal after their 1-0 win at home to Watford. Martin Odegaard saw a goal ruled out for offside and Watford’s attempts at a fightback were ended when Juraj Kucka was sent off in the penultimate minute.
