Liverpool claim 3-0 win over Nottingham

ONDON: Goals from Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Sunday that lifted the Reds to 23 points, three behind leader Tottenham Hotspur.

Jota finished off a quick counter-attack to break the deadlock in the 31st minute and celebrated by holding up the shirt of team mate Luis Diaz, who missed the game following the kidnapping of his parents in his native Colombia.

Liverpool’s second was a brilliant team goal as it sliced Forest’s rearguard apart before Dominik Szoboszlai pulled the ball across the goal for Nunez to turn home.

Salah exploited a dreadful breakdown in communications to round off the scoring in the 77th minute.

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his 50th Premier League goal to give his side a 1-0 win at West Ham United and open some daylight between the Merseyside club and the relegation zone.

The England international netted in the 51st minute when he turned on the edge of the box and fired low into the corner, the ball skipping off the wet London Stadium pitch to beat Alphonse Areola in the home goal.

Aston Villa chalked up its 12th successive Premier League win at home with a comfortable 3-1 victory over struggling Luton Town. Agencies
