West Ham crush Liverpool 3-1
Liverpool suffered a shock 3-1 loss to West Ham on Saturday away from home. Brendan Rodgers's side were 2-0 down inside 7 minutes of play at Upton Park.
Poor defending by Liverpool, who suffered their 3rd loss in 5th game this season, saw Winston Reid turning the ball in to put the Home side 1-0 up in the 2nd minute.
The Hammers doubled their lead Diafra Sakho's cross beat everyone, including Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in the 7th minute.
It was poor defending which cost Liverpool the title last season as they eventually finished runners-up to Man City.
However, the attacking force was on display as winger Raheem Sterling pulled a goal back with an unstoppable shot from inside the box in the 26th minute after Mario Balotelli's initial effort was blocked.
Substitute Morgan Amalfitano made the scoreline totally in favour of West Ham side in the 88th minute when he guided home Stewart Downing's through-ball.
