Liverpool
strengthened their grip on a top-four finish as Philippe Coutinho scored twice
and created another to lead his side to victory at West Ham United. The visitors
started strongly and after Joel Matip's header hit the bar, Coutinho played in
Daniel Sturridge who rounded goalkeeper Adrian to score.
West Ham's
Andre Ayew twice stabbed the ball against the post just before the break but
Liverpool took control in the second half, Coutinho adding a second after Georginio
Wijnaldum hit the bar.
Coutinho
fired a second from a swift break before Divock Origi completed the scoring
with 14 minutes to go from close range.
Liverpool
are now four points clear of Arsenal, who have match in hand, and the Reds will
seal a top-four place if they win their final match of the season at home to
relegated Middlesbrough next Sunday.
West Ham,
meanwhile, remain in 12th place.
