Liverpool close on title after Virgil van Dijk winner, Mohamed Salah record

Liverpool resumed their march to a second Premier League title on Sunday after beating West Ham United 2-1, with Mohamed Salah breaking the record for most goal involvements in a season and Virgil Van Dijk scoring a late winner.

Salah celebrated his two-year contract extension with an assist for Luis Diaz's opener, with the strike marking the Egyptian's 45th goal involvement of the Premier League season, breaking the record for a 38-game campaign.

However, West Ham grew into the game and grabbed an equaliser in the 86th minute when their sustained pressure led to Andy Robertson scoring an own goal while trying to deal with a cross.
