Liverpool’s dreams of clinching the Premier League title took a severe blow following a 2-2 draw against West Ham United at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Michail Antonio’s crucial equalizer for West Ham has dealt a significant blow to Liverpool’s hopes of securing a second Premier League title under Klopp’s management.
The opening goal came just before halftime when Jarrod Bowen leapt above Liverpool’s defense to meet Mohammed Kudus’ delivery into the box, exposing the visitors’ lackluster response to their recent Merseyside derby defeat.
However, Liverpool staged a spirited second-half comeback, with Andy Robertson restoring parity from Luis Diaz’s precise pass into the penalty area.
Their perseverance paid off when Cody Gakpo’s shot, deflected off Angelo Ogbonna, Tomas Soucek, and Alphonse Areola, found the back of the net.
Liverpool seemed on track for redemption from consecutive league losses until Antonio’s commanding header brought West Ham back into the game.
With only three games remaining in the season, Liverpool currently occupies the third spot in the standings, trailing league leaders Arsenal by a mere two points, with Arsenal set to face Tottenham next.
Meanwhile, Manchester City holds the second position with two games in hand.
Liverpool’s aspirations for the title now appear bleak, as their fate hinges on slip-ups from both title rivals to reignite their championship hopes.
