Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez netted a brilliant goal as his side romped to a 3-1 Premier League win over a dogged West Ham United side at Anfield on Sunday, deftly steering home a volley on the hour mark.The visitors were left to rue some early misses when Mohamed Salah was felled by Nayef Aguerd in the 15th minute for a stonewall penalty, and the Egyptian attacker stepped up to smash home the resulting spot kick to give Liverpool the lead.

00:00 Well the full-time whistle has just gone here at a very windy Anfield where West Ham have been beating 3-1 by Liverpool.
00:05 And I suppose the last couple of weeks have maybe put a slight reality check on what's still been a very good start to the season for the Hammers.
00:11 Back-to-back defeats now since the international break against Manchester City and Liverpool and actually sort of eerie similarities between the two.
00:18 In terms of the scoreline of course but actually probably in terms of the pattern of the games as well where West Ham more than competed for the best part of an hour, scored a really well-worked goal.
00:28 Both headers from moves down the right wing involving Vladimir Suvail crosses.
00:33 But then undone, both games the goal that put City ahead last weekend, the goal that put Liverpool back ahead here.
00:39 Straight ball over the top that caught the two centre-halves out, didn't manage to track the runners, then it was Bernardo Silva, today it was Darwin Nunes.
00:47 Whether that's just coincidence or whether maybe something to do with getting more pressure on the ball higher up the pitch, maybe being caught a little bit flat in the back, that's something for David Moyes to ponder.
00:57 There is I suppose a more favourable run of pictures coming up in the Premier League for West Ham to try and recapture that form that made the first month of their campaign so exciting.
