Premier League: Sadio Mane earns Liverpool victory over West Ham to go three points behind leaders Man City

By Aman Shukla

Jurgen Klopp hopes a nervy 1-0 victory over West Ham will be more fondly remembered at the end of the season after Sadio Mane’s goal closed the gap on Manchester City at the top of the table to three points. Defeat leaves West Ham still two points outside the top four having played more matches than every one of their rivals for a place in next season’s Champions League. But David Moyes’ men will rue a host of missed chances to salvage a point, which would have given City breathing space at the top of the table.

“You cannot only win the ones where you are flying, today we were obviously not flying and had to dig really deep,” said Klopp.

“I don’t know if we will remember this game as one of the important ones. You have to get over the line and I was pleased with that.

“If you are not well organised you have to defend with passion and that’s what we did.”
