Issa Diop upended a goal-bound Divock Origi with the reigning African Player of the Year beating Lukasz Fabianski from the resulting penalty kick.

Seven minutes into the second half, Salah assisted Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as the Reds looked on course to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League this term.

The ex-Chelsea man has both scored and assisted in 14 different Premier League games, five more than any other player since the start of the 2017-18 season.

With that, Salah has now been directly involved in seven goals in five Premier League games against West Ham (5 goals, 2 assists).

Liverpool continue their title challenge against Southampton at Anfield on February 1, while the Hammers host Brighton & Hove Albion.
