- Reds score twice in 3 first half minutes
- Liverpool sixth with 19 points
- West Ham now 17th
Red-hot Mohamed Salah scored two more goals as Liverpool hammered West Ham United 4-1 at the London Stadium on Saturday in what will surely lead to more calls for Irons coach Slaven Bilic’s job.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joel Matip also scored for the Reds, while Manuel Lanzini scored West Ham’s only marker.
Liverpool finishes the day in sixth, climbing back above Burnley on 19 points.
West Ham could finish the weekend in the drop zone if Everton beats Watford on Sunday.

Joe Hart made a fine intervention early, and it was Simon Mignolet’s chance to feel danger when Andre Ayew beat him but not the goal in the ninth minute.
West Ham looked up for it until opening up for a counter after a misplayed corner kick. Sadio Mane dribbled the majority of the pitch before deferring to Salah to beat Hart.
Matip then tapped a rebound past Hart off a corner kick. Salah’s corner came off Mark Noble to force Hart’s parry. That fell right to Matip. 2-0, 24'.

Lanzini bodied Joe Gomez to make it 2-1 with two slick touches, but West Ham made it 3-1 within a minute when Oxlade-Chamberlain had two cracks at Hart.
It could’ve been 3-2 through Lanzini again, but he skied his chance over the bar after a nice feed from Andy Carroll.
Javier Hernandez was pushed in the back with a chance to nod home, but Neil Swarbrick didn’t see a enough for a penalty kick.
Salah made it a three-goal cushion with his final marker of the day.
