wow... West Ham United beat Liverpool 3(Lanzini 3' Noble 30' Sakho 92') - 0 for their first league win at Anfield since 1963, breaking Liverpool's unbeaten record this season.
First-half goals from Manuel Lanzini and Mark Noble gave the visitors a commanding half-time lead, before Philippe Coutinho's red card early in the second period steepened the hosts' task. Noble also saw red in the final 12 minutes, but Brendan Rodgers's side - who had won seven points in their first three outings - failed to ignite a comeback bid and Diafra Sakho completed the rout late on.
Lanzini, who replaced the recently-released Kevin Nolan in the first XI, justified his selection by nipping in ahead of Joe Gomez to slot Aaron Cresswell's cross past Simon Mignolet. Irked by conceding their first goal of the season, the Reds responded well and Roberto Firmino sent a long-range drive against the post on eight minutes in a fast-and-furious start to the contest on Merseyside
However, the playing field was levelled up on 78 minutes when Noble received his marching orders for a lunge on Danny Ings, before Lovren failed to throw Liverpool a lifeline shortly after by heading over from close range. It proved costly, and Sakho benefited from some questionable defending from the hosts to slot past Mignolet in the closing embers.
