"Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and an Axel Disasi own goal saw the Reds plunder five with Tomas Soucek and Taty Castellanos netting twice in the second half for the Hammers as the hosts won 5-2."
"The outcome means Arne Slot's squad have extended their run to two losses in 21 matches and have temporarily drawn level on points with fourth-placed Manchester United."
"Excellent strength to fend off defenders and nod in second and dependable enough at the back, even if some distribution unnecessarily risky. Not the most straightforward of afternoons up against Bowen's pace but some deliveries merited better reward and maintained his effort throughout."
