Liverpool just two wins away from EPL title

Summary

LIVERPOOL, England (AP): VIRGIL VAN Dijk scored a late winner against West Ham yesterday to move Liverpool within six points of the Premier League title. A 2-1 victory at Anfield means Arne Slot’s team needs to win just two more games to be certain of a record-equalling 20th English league title and draw level with Manchester United’s total. “A big relief,” was how the Liverpool manager described Van Dijk’s 89th-minute header. “We saved a big set piece for a very important moment.” Liverpool had looked like dropping points when Andrew Robertson scored an own goal in the 86th to level the game at 1-1 after Luis Diaz’s first-half opener. But captain Van Dijk rose to head home and ensure the league leaders took advantage after second-placed Arsenal slipped up on Saturday by drawing 1-1 with Brentford.
