Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now equalled their club record of 63 consecutive home league games without defeat; also from February 1978 to December 1980 in League Division One. The Reds had now won their last ten home games in the Premier League when they had conceded the first goal since December 2017. Trent Alexander-Arnold made his 100th appearance in the Premier League (all with Liverpool). Sadio Mané made his 200th career appearance in the Premier League. Andy Robertson made his 200th appearance in the Premier League and Football League. Diogo Jota scored after 77 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul.

Comments:

League position: 13th This was West Ham United's first defeat in their last five games in the Premier League. The four preceding games had all been against teams that finished in the previous season's top seven positions. The Hammers had now lost 22 of their 25 away games in the Premier League at the reigning champions (won one). David Moyes remained without a win in his 16 visits to Anfield in the Premier League during his managerial career (lost ten).
