Super sub Jota fires Liverpool top of the Premier League
Liverpool's Portuguese striker Diogo Jota celebrates scoring his team's second goal during their English Premier League match against West Ham United at Anfield on October 31, 2020.
Like so often in their first title-winning campaign for 30 years last season, Liverpool left it late to snatch all three points but their patience and persistence was rewarded at Anfield to move three points clear at the top.
Liverpool again felt the absence of Virgil van Dijk in defence as Pablo Fornals took advantage of a depleted backline to give West Ham the lead on 10 minutes.
Nathaniel Phillips made his league debut for the champions at the heart of the defence with Joel Matip and Fabinho also out injured.

Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool's ability to find a way to win after Diogo Jota came off the bench to score the winner five minutes from time to beat West Ham 2-1 on Saturday.
