West Ham United vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

OVER!!!! Rice surges through the middle before finding Cornet with a well-timed throughball. The Ivorian bursts past Alexander-Arnold and shoots from the edge of the box, but is leaning back as he does so and fires high and wide of Alisson's goal!

It has been half an hour since West Ham last attempted a shot in this game, with Liverpool in full control of this second half. West Ham did of course beat Bournemouth 4-0 last time out, but actually had less possession and attempts on goal than the Cherries.

The Liverpool front three of Salah, Diaz and Gakpo all combine in the West Ham box, but none have the space to get a shot away before the hosts clear through Cresswell.

CHANCE!! Cresswell's clearance is nodded on skilfully by Bowen, who plays Ings in behind the Liverpool defence. He's inches away from connecting with the ball, but Alisson arrives on the scene to hoof the ball away having run quite some distance from the safety of his own box!

A deft Salah touch gives Thiago space to shoot or cross from, but Aguerd gets across to block and Cresswell clears.

Robertson notches his eighth Premier League assist of the season, the most of any Liverpool player, as the Reds finally notch their second goal of this game - with Matip's superb header being their 19th attempt of the match.
