West Ham suddenly became a serious threat from set pieces last night, one in particular of course leading to another Michail Antonio goal against Liverpool which was right out of the top drawer.
The quality of the goal was everything that the visitor’s wasn’t after Kevin Friend and his assistant had allowed that blatantly offside effort.
With the Irons noticing how the scousers to hold a high defensive line, Felipe Anderson planted a totally superb free kick over the top allowing Michail to whip in and score with a brilliant angled shot.
It was a joy to watch and even to the casual observer clearly a well worked goal straight off the training ground – others followed but with less success.
We had unsettled them throughout and sadly despite a fantastic game otherwise Declan Rice missed with a brilliant header and Noble with a fierce shot but on that set piece we were supreme.
