Liverpool rout West Ham 4-0

LIVERPOOL: Liverpool FC began their 2018/2019 English Premier League (EPL) football season in an overwhelming fashion, crushing West Ham United FC 4-0 at the Anfield stadium here on Sunday. Egypt forward Mohamed Salah opened his account for the new season only 19 minutes into the game, notching his 20th goal in as many EPL home matches, reports Efe. The 2017-18 EPL top scorer made the most of a low cross from Andrew Robertson, putting the ball home with a right-foot close-range touch. Then, Senegal’s Sadio Mane scored a brace, with the first of them coming seconds before the intermission in a carbon copy of Salah’s goal, but this time he was assisted by James Milner. (IANS)
