Mac Allister stuns Anfield with volley as Liverpool thrash West Ham | OneFootball

Liverpool hosted West Ham United for Matchday 28 of the 2025/26 Premier League and won 5-2 in what was their third consecutive victory.

The Reds, under Arne Slot, wanted to keep adding points to secure a Champions League spot, and this match, against a rival not going through their best moment, was key.

The victory started cooking early on. As the game was just getting underway and there was no clear dominator yet, Liverpool quickly broke the deadlock with a goal from Frenchman Hugo Ekitike, who fired at the near post to celebrate another Premier League goal.

From there, Liverpool took control of the match and punished every West Ham mistake. In the 24th minute, Virgil van Dijk made it 2-0 from a set piece, and the same formula worked for the third, scored by Alexis Mac Allister.

The Argentine had scored against Nottingham the previous week and did it again with a stunning volley that ripped through the Hammers’ net, leaving them dejected at halftime.

In the second half, Villa showed some reaction and quickly pulled one back, but the hosts managed to restore their 3-goal lead with a fine finish from Cody Gakpo.

Although Valentín Castellanos scored again for the visitors to add some pressure, Liverpool sealed the win with a bit of luck and an own goal that left the Hammers with no chance.

With this victory, Liverpool secured their third win in a row and now sit fifth in the Premier League, still outside the Champions League spots but finding a style of play more in line with the quality of their squad.
