The scoring prowess of Liverpool’s forward line hasn’t been diminished by Philippe Coutinho’s departure to Barcelona. For the second straight game, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane all scored as Liverpool climbed into second place in the English Premier League with a 4-1 home win over West Ham on Saturday. “Flexibility, being fluent, depends on all the players around,” Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said, highlighting the movement and work rate of his attackers. It’s really important.” Liverpool, the only member of the top six to play on Saturday, moved a point ahead of Manchester United, which hosts fourth-place Chelsea on Sunday. Only Manchester City (111), the leader by 15 points, has more goals than Liverpool’s 103 in all competitions among English clubs.
