Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeLONDON, Dec 30 — Rampant Liverpool smashed West Ham 5-0 yesterday to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points as Manchester City returned to winning ways at troubled Leicester.
Luis Diaz opened the scoring against Julen Lopetegui’s hapless team on the half-hour, before Mohamed Salah set up Cody Gakpo for the second with some audacious footwork. “I enjoyed it a lot because it doesn’t happen many times that I could just sit back and enjoy,” said Slot, flying in his first season in the Anfield hotseat after replacing Jurgen Klopp.
“The only thing on my mind is I want Liverpool to win the league and I want to be part of that,” Salah told“I will do my best for the team to win the trophy. There are a few other teams catching up with us and we need to stay focused and humble.”Earlier, defending champions City travelled to relegation-threatened Leicester drained of confidence after just one win in all competitions since late October.
“It is not enjoyable right now, it is just relief. We have done incredible things for many years,” said City boss Pep Guardiola.“We don’t have energy to sustain 90 minutes. Hopefully the new year can help us bounce back.”Chris Wood chipped over Jordan Pickford for the opening goal in the 15th minute after being set up by Anthony Elanga.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min also squandered a 43rd-minute penalty, but it did not appear to be too costly until substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen smashed home in the 87th minute.
