Liverpool 3 - 0 West Ham

Maxi Rodriquez put Liverpool three goals up against West Ham in the 38th minute.

Liverpool's first-half barrage secured an easy win over a West Ham side that looked worryingly weak at Anfield.


Former Hammer Glen Johnson cracked a low shot past over-worked Robert Green to give the hosts an 18th-minute lead.

Dirk Kuyt then coolly slotted home a penalty after lively Fernando Torres had caused Danny Gabbidon to handle.

Maxi Rodriquez nodded in a simple third before half time, while bottom-of-the-table West Ham created nothing in a largely stale second period.
