Twitter explodes as Mohamed Salah inspires Liverpool to impressive 3-1 win against West Ham

Mohamed Salah scored a brace in Liverpool's 3-1 win against West Ham

Premier League champions Liverpool continued their revival with another impressive showing in London, as they brushed aside West Ham at the London Stadium with a clinical second-half performance. Jurgen Klopp's side put Tottenham Hotspur to the sword by the same scoreline in midweek and built on their result with another solid performance.

Mohamed Salah was the star of the show for the Reds, as his stunning second-half double put the away side 2-0 up after a goalless first half. Gini Wijnaldum finished off a brilliant team goal to give Liverpool a 3-0 lead, but West Ham reduced the deficit late on through a Craig Dawson header.

Liverpool make it successive league victories to strike back in title race

With his second-half brace, Salah extending his lead in the race for the Golden Boot, as he took his tally up to 15 league goals this season.

Liverpool still trail Manchester City by four points, but the defending champions are firmly back in the title race and will look to build on their recent run.

Here are the best tweets from another stunning Liverpool performance away from home.

Mohamed Salah had never scored 20 goals in a season before he joined Liverpool. He’s now scored 20+ four years in a row. We might be in danger of becoming a bit numb to his consistent brilliance

Salah quietly on 15 league goals from 18 starts despite not scoring in his last six.

Doesn’t register as a goal or assist but Trent’s playmaking being back to somewhere near his best is key for LFC’s attack to function - the cross-field pass to Shaqiri sets up the whole attack for Salah’s 2nd goal.

He is Liverpool’s main playmaker pic.twitter.com/ZWKLs1lkDc

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even after performances like today, I feel that Salah never truly gets the credit he deserves. There's an expectation that he'll score and win us games, which takes the shine off how special he is. First to be criticised, but often not fairly praised.

Mohamed Salah becomes the first Liverpool player since Ian Rush in 1984-85 to score 20+ goals in four straight seasons 💪 pic.twitter.com/xYMnFv1dW7

Liquid football, no clean sheet, Salah deadly - we actually time travelled back to 17/18

This’ll be 3 golden boots in 4 seasons for Salah but he doesn’t get in the all time PL XI because Ronaldo hit a free kick against Portsmouth

This notion that Thiago makes Liverpool worse or has harmed the style is absolutely wild. Couldn’t possibly be to do with mounting injuries or an incredibly intense schedule, no? Such a lazy narrative.
— Leanne Prescott (@_lfcleanne) January 31, 2021

Love the idea that Thiago was coming to Liverpool as this delicate little playmaker and not a tenacious ankle-biter of a centre mid. He tackles like Scholes. A yellow card on legs.

Thiago Alcantara vs. West Ham

89% Pass accuracy (91/102)
4/7 Accurate long passes

Thiago has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. A really really talented duck. A duck I could watch play for hours. Cheers, Bayern. pic.twitter.com/SE6f3vhwvd

Mo Salah. Just the 115 goals and 45 assists in 182 Liverpool games.
— SH (@SenneH90) January 31, 2021

Found it ironic that Sky Sports asked after the game why Mo Salah isn’t loved so much as other players.

Martin Tyler’s comment on him preferring to score than win in the 1st half is exactly why.

False narratives from the media. pic.twitter.com/dbK42ryoOL

Mo Salah was superb again today, on his way to 20 goals for the 4th season in a row.

Came back to England as a “flop,” suffered islamophobia, proved his critics wrong, most goals in a single season in PL history, on course to win his 3rd golden boot and 4th season in a row where he scored 20+ goals.

Players like Salah don’t come around that often. pic.twitter.com/kgyRcH9Efb
