Slot happy with Reds' control in hammering
The Straits Times|September 27, 2024
Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo scored two goals apiece as holders Liverpool put on another solid performance to thrash West Ham United 5-1 at Anfield on Sept 25 and set up a League Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Mohamed Salah was also on target for Liverpool, who fell behind and endured some nervy moments before pulling away for a comfortable victory at Anfield.

“I do feel like in most parts of the game we had control,” manager Arne Slot said. “We had a large part of ball possession, particularly in the first half.”

West Ham - who were reduced to 10 men when Edson Alvarez was shown a second yellow card in the 76th minute - opened the scoring when Wataru Endo's attempt to clear a corner ricocheted off Jarell Quansah and past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher for an own goal. The Hammers' celebrations were short-lived as Jota equalised four minutes later, leaping to head home Federico Chiesa's acrobatic volley.
