Liverpool 3-0 West Ham ( Glen Johnson, Dirk Kuyt penalty, Maxi Rodriguez)
Liverpool beat bottom of the table West Ham United at Anfield thanks to three first half goals. The quality of football on display from West Ham was very, very poor and they never looked like troubling Liverpool at all.
For example, see the non existent marking on Maxi Rodriguez when he scores Liverpool’s third.
