West Ham 1-1 Liverpool
Liverpool huffed and puffed in this game but it was West Ham who came closest to blowing the house down.
In just the second minute of play, Javier Hernandez twisted and fired inches wide of the post.
Aaron Cresswell also saw his drive from just outside the area go inches wide.
Hernandez then had another effort pushed wide by Alisson.
Liverpool controversially took the lead after 21mins, James Milner picking the ball up in an offside position. He crossed for Sadio Mane to turn the defender and fire home.
West Ham weren't behind for long, though, with Felipe Anderson rolling a freekick in on the blind side of the Liverpool defence for Michail Antonio to run on firing wide of Alisson to equalise.
West Ham then should have taken the lead, with Anderson picking out the advancing Declan Rice with his free kick. Unfortunately, Rice put the header wide.
Hernandez had another chance in the second half but put it over.
In the final minute, Divock Origi got free but Fabianski easily blocked the effort.
West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini was disappointed that his side did not take all three points. "We had four chances, they had two. Ofcourse we must be disappointed. I am very happy with the performance, " said Pellegrini, who was keen to see his team repeat the performances they have put in against the big teams at home versus other teams
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp felt his team could have played better but they showed fight.
