PLAYER RATINGS: Jarrod Bowen excels with goal and assist to bolster Euro chances
Liverpool's Premier League title ambitions took another serious dent as they were held to a 2-2 draw at West Ham on Saturday lunchtime.
Jurgen Klopp took the decision to start Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez on the bench and they looked listless as the Hammers led at half-time thanks to the impressive Jarrod Bowen.
The Reds turned the contest around thanks to Andrew Robertson's equaliser, before a fortunate own goal, credited to keeper Alphonse Areola, put them in front.
Michail Antonio headed West Ham level to leave Liverpool trailing Arsenal and Manchester City.

Vladimir Coufal - 5.5
Found it a struggle to keep a lid on Luis Diaz's attacking threat when directly attacked one-on-one but made a vital intervention to put off Mohamed Salah late on. Did show his own threat with a deflected first-half shot that Alisson had to react to.
Kurt Zouma - 6

Came up with a number of vital blocks and clearing headers to keep Liverpool at bay and was unfortunate Cody Gakpo's wayward shot deflected off his body towards goal for the second. Had made a superb block to thwart Gakpo just before.
Emerson - 6
Struggled to contain Harvey
