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

Quick feet from Benrahma sees him bypass both Matip and Fabinho as he races down the left, but his ball from the byline is far too close to Alisson and the Liverpool goalkeeper collects!

Cresswell and Benrahma combine down the left, but Henderson slides in to tackle both ball and man behind for a corner as Benrhama lines up a cross.

Successive defensive headers from Van Dijk and Matip keep Coufal's crosses at bay, and Henderson sets off on the break for Liverpool. He plays a long throughball forward with Gakpo running into space, but the pass is overhit and Fabianski can clear.

Liverpool have won just one of their six Premier League away games against London sides this season, beating Spurs 2-1 in November. Having scored in 27 consecutive league games in the capital between August 2018 and January this year, Liverpool's last two visits both finished 0-0, but Gakpo's equaliser restarted that record 18 minutes into this one.

Opening goalscorer Paqueta kicks off the second half, and we're back underway in east London!

We're back for the second half, with both teams on the pitch and ready to resume proceedings!

Jota's had two golden chances to give Liverpool the lead so far, but twice shot wide despite his efforts having a combined xG of 0.71. The back-in-form winger has won a game-high five of his nine duels, including once in the air, and has won possession four times, including via three perfectly-timed tackles!

And breathe! A fast and furious first 45 minutes come to an end, and we've seen an absolute plethora of chances thus far! Paqueta's sensational opener for West Ham came against the run of play, with Gakpo's equaliser being just as good a strike at the other end. That gave way to further chances, most of which came at one end of the field as Liverpool peppered Fabianski's goal. Van Dijk and Jota (twice) have both struck wide from close-range, while West Ham chances for Antonio and Benrahma on the break have also failed to find the net. It's a game that doesn't look likely to stay at 1-1 for very long, and the second half could be a goal-fest of the highest quality!
