Liverpool delivered an attacking masterclass in a 5-2 thrashing of West Ham United at Anfield in the Premier League on February 28, 2026. Mohamed Salah was the star of the show, scoring twice and providing an assist as the Reds overwhelmed the Hammers. Darwin Nunez opened the scoring early, with Salah adding a quick second. Jarrod Bowen pulled one back for West Ham, but goals from Luis Diaz and another from Salah before halftime put the game out of reach. Bowen scored a consolation for the visitors in the second half, but Cody Gakpo completed the rout late on. The victory was crucial for Liverpool in maintaining their title challenge at the top of the table, while West Ham's defensive vulnerabilities were exposed. The result kept Liverpool within two points of the league leaders, and manager Jurgen Klopp hailed his team's "devastating attacking play."
