Liverpool handed a Premier League title omen after brilliant start to the season
Liverpool extended their lengthy unbeaten run in the Premier League with a resolute showing against West Ham United - and there was one particular title-winning omen for Jurgen Klopp's side to enjoy.
Goals from Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota secured all three points for the Reds and cancelled out Jarrod Bowen's equaliser just minutes before the end of the first half.
And if history is anything to go by, Sunday's triumph bodes well for the Reds as they became just the second Liverpool side in the last 43 years to score three or more goals in their opening three home games of the season. In fact, the last time Liverpool achieved such a feat was at the start of the 2019/20 campaign as victories against Norwich City (4-1), Arsenal (3-1) and Newcastle United (3-1) laid the foundations for the Anfield side to claim a first league title since 1990.
Four years on, victory against the Hammers comes after Liverpool defeated Bournemouth (3-1) and Aston Villa (3-0) in their first Anfield outings of the new season.
