West Ham held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium, which cuts the gap at the top of the Premier League table to just three points.

Liverpool looked to be heading for a comfortable win when Sadio Mane opened the scoring midway through the first-half.

But West Ham quickly hit back through Michail Antonio and the home side had several chances to take the lead.

Declan Rice missed a header on the stroke of half-time while Mark Noble went close later on with a stinging drive.

However neither side could find a winner, much to the dismay of Jurgen Klopp. The draw means that Manchester City will return to the top of the Premier League if they beat Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
