Draw at West Ham dent Liverpool title hopes

 

Michail Antonio of West Ham United celebrates scoring his team's second goal with Mohammed Kudus of West Ham United during the Premier League match between West Ham United and Liverpool FC at London Stadium on April 27, 2024 in London, England.

Liverpool's Premier League title hopes seem all but over after Michail Antonio scored to rescue a point for West Ham at London Stadium.


Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring just before the break when he rose highest to meet Mohammed Kudus' cross into the area as Liverpool showed little evidence that their Merseyside derby loss in midweek had done much in the way of spurring them on.


But the visitors were much improved in the second half and Andy Robertson equalised when he scored from Luis Diaz's low pass into the penalty area.


They were then rewarded for their pressure when Cody Gakpo's effort from a corner ricocheted off Angelo Ogbonna, Tomas Soucek and Alphonse Areola before finding the back of the net.

It looked like they were on their way to bouncing back from back-to-back defeats in the league until Antonio's thumping header put the Hammers back on level terms.


Liverpool sit third in the table with three games remaining, two points behind leaders Arsenal, who face Tottenham on Sunday, while Manchester City are second but have two games in hand.


Liverpool's title hopes appear to be all but over, with the Reds relying on both of their title rivals to slip up to get back in the race.
