Liverpool came from a goal down to win at West Ham and boost their hopes of securing European football next season.
The Hammers took a 12th-minute lead when Lucas Paqueta, after playing a one-two with Michail Antonio, fired from 20 yards out past Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
But the advantage lasted less than six minutes before Cody Gakpo equalised with his own shot from outside the penalty area.
West Ham thought they had gone back in front with Jarrod Bowen’s angled strike but the England forward was ruled offside by the video assistant referee to keep it at 1-1.
An unmarked Joel Matip scored what proved to be the winner in the 67th minute with a powerful header from Andy Robertson’s corner from the left.
