FULL TIME: West Ham 2-3 Liverpool. Rafa's men led three times and deserved the victory for playing the more attacking football. The Hammers sat back and though they battled hard, looked very tired towards the end of the game. Liverpool up to third in the league and West Ham down to 14th. Till next time folks...
