West Ham vs Liverpool full-time ratings: Dominant Reds get a PERFECT 10 as injury strikes again

Liverpool dismantled West Ham United 4-0 in east London this evening.

The Reds move eight points clear of Nottingham Forest at the top of the Premier League, with Chelsea yet to play and the Tricky Trees moving into second after a win earlier today.

Here are our player ratings:

Alisson Becker - 6

Alisson didn't have very much to do all game in terms of actual saves, despite West Ham hitting the woodwork twice. His distribution and work from corners was as fine as ever.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 7

He spent a lot of the game cantering around the pitch with West Ham not wanting to attack down the right all too often until Crysencio Summerville came on. Smashed in Liverpool's fourth with a massive deflection and then gave it the 'all talk' celebration, showing he might be an Anfield Watch reader.

Joe Gomez - 7

Really solid, particularly when pressing high into midfield positions, but his run in the team was cut short on the 36th minute with a hamstring injury. Real, real shame.

Virgil van Dijk - 8

The same as his partner and as he always is - calm, cool and commanding. His diagonal passes were as good as ever and he marshalled a defence with Jarell Quansah in it as well as possible.

Andy Robertson - 6

His growing slowness gave West Ham a two-on-two early on when his pocket was picked but he was completely fine after that. Kept his position well but could have added more to attack.

Ryan Gravenberch - 7

Was by no means bad in this game but we've come to expect game-changing stuff from him whereas today he was simply fine. Lost the ball uncharacteristically a few times. Was subbed for Wataru Endo on the 58th minute.

Alexis Mac Allister - 9

Mac Allister was absolutely everywhere today, linking play consistently in attack and being dogged in his defensive work. Everything's different with him on the pitch.

Curtis Jones - 8

A lively presence throughout managing to resist any semblence of a West Ham press with ease. Added great ball progression throughout when needed.

Cody Gakpo - 9

A tremendous game for the winger who put Liverpool's third away from an insanely well-created Mo Salah move (shock). Could have had an assist with a perfectly threated ball to the Egyptian early on and also failed to stick his head out when Salah returned the favour a few minutes later. Subbed for Diogo Jota on the 58th minute.

Mohamed Salah - 10

What is there to say about this man? Another goal and two assists and yet he missed three big chances that we'd routinely expect him to put away. He is the best player in the world right now and there are still levels is feels like he can reach. A ridiculous touch beat West Ham's defender for Gakpo's opener, his goal (and Liverpool's third) was a firmly despatched finish and the assist for Jota to make it five was a silky run where no one could lay a finger on him.

Luis Diaz - 8

Opened the scoring after playing a one-two with West Ham's Vladimir Coufal and could have had more with some tempting strikes early on. Was a bright spark throughout the game and is beginning to operate really well in that central area.

Substitutions:

Jarell Quansah - 7

Had to replace Joe Gomez who unfortunately went down with a hamstring issue 10 minutes before half-time, but was certainly his best performance so far this season. Liverpool's attacking output helped but he looked firmly in control against Summerville in the second half.

Wataru Endo - 7

Was a very welcome presence when he replaced Ryan Gravenberch early in the second half. Looked strong, calm and composed as he created a nice base from Liverpool to get to five from.

Diogo Jota - 8

Still looks a bit slower than we are used to but his technical ability is all there, allowing Liverpool to have a wealth of attacks throughout the second half. Got his goal on the 85th minute with a perfectly curled finish from Salah's mazy run.

Harvey Elliott - 5

Came on for the last 15-or-so and didn't see any levels dropped.

Kostas Tsimikas - 5

Came on at the same time as Elliott when Liverpool were already home and hosed. Looked more than fine.
