European Champions, Liverpool survived a rare night of struggle this season to overcome West Ham United and close to within four wins of the Premier League title.
Victory means Liverpool equal the English league record of 18 successive wins, set by Manchester City from August to December 2017, with Jurgen Klopp’s side last dropping points in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in October.
Liverpool took an early lead when Fabianski failed to deal with a routine Gini Wijnaldum header but David Moyes’ side showed great character to hit back through Issa Diop’s header, which should also have been kept out by Alisson.
