Anfield on fire, Liverpool in full flow
Some afternoons everything goes your way. At Anfield, Liverpool served up a ruthless attacking display to bury West Ham United 5-2.
It was over early. Five minutes in, Hugo Ekitike takes a touch, follows up and fires. Clinical. The Hammers knew they were in trouble.
WHAT A RUN FROM EKITIKÉ TO OPEN THE SCORING 🇫🇷

Then the familiar routine. Corner, header — Virgil van Dijk climbs highest. 2-0.
Right before half, Alexis Mac Allister rips a stunning volley. 3-0 at 44. It looked done.
West Ham tried to fight back. Tomas Soucek pulled one back after the break. Cody Gakpo answered with a low finish from a tight angle.
Taty Castellanos’ strike made no difference. A drifting Jeremie Frimpong cross forced Axel Disasi into an own goal.
Liverpool grab a third straight win and jump up to fifth, for now.
Everton cools Newcastle
Meanwhile at St James’ Park, Everton produced a big result against Newcastle United.
The Toffees started on the front foot. Jarrad Branthwaite opened the scoring. Newcastle hit back through Jacob Ramsey. Beto restored Everton’s lead before the break.
The second half went tense. Jacob Murphy equalised in the 82nd and St James’ Park erupted.
The roar lasted barely a minute. From the restart, Thierno Barry finished a slick team move. 2-3.
Newcastle slide to 12th. Everton cling to ninth and can still look up.
Burnley thought they’d done it — Brentford broke them
The wildest game might have been at Turf Moor.
Burnley conceded three in 34 minutes to Brentford. Mikkel Damsgaard struck in the 9th, then popped up again in stoppage.
Burnley refused to quit. Two assists from Hannibal Mejbri hauled them back to 3-3 on the hour. Turf Moor started dreaming.
BURNLEY’S CRAZY COMEBACK 🤯

But it was ruled out for offside. Then Damsgaard popped up in 90+4 to crush the Clarets. Even Ashley Barnes’ 90+8 leveller was scrapped for handball.
Burnley slide closer to the Championship. Brentford climb to seventh.
A frantic, spectacular, utterly unpredictable night.
