Liverpool continued their winning streak with a convincing 5-2 victory over West Ham at Anfield, marking their third straight win in the Premier League. The match saw an early lead for Liverpool when Hugo Ekitike scored, quickly followed by a header from Virgil van Dijk that brought the score to 2-0. Remarkably, all three of Liverpool's goals before halftime came from corner kicks, making it only the second time in Premier League history that a team has scored three corner goals in one half.

The match showcased Liverpool's increasing dominance in the league, particularly highlighted by their ability to score from set pieces, which they managed to do without relying on penalties. With three goals already on the board, Liverpool recorded seven consecutive Premier League goals from dead ball situations, establishing the longest such streak in the league’s history. This performance is a significant turning point in their campaign, indicating a shift towards more effective use of corners and free kicks, a tactic that has sometimes eluded them this season.

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo emphasized the importance of capitalizing on set pieces, especially in tightly contested matches where regular play becomes challenging. This win not only boosts the team's morale but also reinforces their position in the league as they look to maintain momentum in the weeks ahead. Liverpool's impressive scoring record from corners highlights their tactical evolution and could serve as a valuable asset in their pursuit of the Premier League title this season.
