West Ham 1-2 Liverpool: Joel Matip's header is the difference for the visitors as they secure their third consecutive win against the Hammers in pulsating clash at the London Stadium

Joel Matip proved the difference for Liverpool on a frustrating night for West Ham at the London Stadium.

Cody Gakpo and Lucas Paqueta opened the scoring for both sides in the opening 20 minutes to keep the score level for much of the match.

Both sides had ample chances in a helter-skelter tie but a strong showing from Liverpool saw the visitors leave with all three points.
