West Ham overtake Liverpool on the log

Meanwhile, West Ham United climbed to third above Liverpool on the Premier League table after an impressive 3-1 win over the Reds at the London Stadium.

It took only just three minutes for the Hammers to take the lead as Alisson Becker punched a corner-kick into his own net to make it 1-0.

Four minutes before half-time Jurgen Klopp's side responded as Trent Alexander-Arnold produced an exquisite free-kick leaving Lukasz Fabianski no chance of making a save.

Both Alisson and Fabianski were kept busy at both ends of the pitch but West Ham restored their lead in the 67thminute.

Jarred Bowen's put Pablo Fornals through as Alisson got a hand on the Spaniard's shot but the ball fell into the back of the net. 2-1 it was.

With a quarter of an hour left to play, Kourt Zouma headed in at the near post from Bowen's corner-kick to make it 3-1.

Liverpool did not give up as substitute Divock Origi pulled one back with seven minutes left to play to give the game a nervy finish. 3-2 it was.

The London club held on for the win as they cemented their place in third position, level on points with defending champions Man City.

Terry trolls Man Utd over loss to City

United were completely outplayed at Old Trafford as they put up another lacklustre performance in front of the home base.

And Terry, who had only signed up for a social media account on Saturday wasted no time to have a dig at one of his former rivals.
