Two points behind Arsenal (77 points, one game less) and one behind Manchester City (76, two games less). Liverpool can give up on the English champion title after their draw this Saturday at West Ham. The Reds, in free fall in recent weeks, are experiencing a very painful end to the season and the Jürgen Klopp era, the coach who announced his departure.
In addition, they lack success, as in the first period on this penalty canceled by the VAR, because of a slight offside from Luis Diaz, or on this strike from the Colombian winger repelled by the right post of Alphonse Areola, the French goalkeeper of the Hammers.
Liverpool managed to equalize through Andy Robertson (48th), after the opener from Jarrod Bowen (43rd) before leading the score thanks to Cody Gakpo (65th). But Michal Antonio equalized for West Ham (77th) and clouded the horizon of a team which was recently aiming for a fantastic quadruple.
An argument with Salah
Finally, after repeated setbacks in the league and eliminations in the Cup and Europa League, Klopp will most likely settle for a League Cup for his final season on the banks of the Mersey, while his team still has to face Tottenham , Aston Villa and Wolverhampton in the Premier League.
The German, vilified by Mohamed Salah when the Egyptian came into play at the end of the match, must be replaced by the Dutchman Arne Slot, current coach of Feyenoord.
