It was a tough test for the Hammers who went to one of the toughest places in the league, Anfield.

Sadio Mane turned home a sumptuous cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, scoring the only goal of the game.
Pablo Fornals shared the usual post match Instagram post, with teammate Declan Rice commenting, despite not being a part of the squad.
That’s a good sign for the Hammers fans who will be hoping he is back for the next game after he missed the Anfield test with illness. If he is back in Thursday that will be a huge lift to supporters and players alike.
