Jürgen Klopp may be shouting loudest for the reintroduction of the five substitutes rule in the Premier League but he only needed two to complete a comeback victory over West Ham. Diogo Jota and Xherdan Shaqiri combined stylishly five minutes from time to take Liverpool to the Premier League summit and equal the club record of 63 league games unbeaten at Anfield.
Jota scored for the third successive game at Anfield after being released inside the visitors’ area by a sublime pass from fellow substitute Shaqiri. The forward’s winner arrived minutes after he had a goal disallowed by Kevin Friend after a VAR check, and ruined an otherwise hugely encouraging away performance for David Moyes’ team.
