Even Without Mo, Liverpool Still Got the Molecule

 

Alex Isak celebrating First Goal in PL this season.

Liverpool showed again that they’re more than just one man after a solid 2–0 win over West Ham United away from home — even without Mohamed Salah in the starting XI

🔑Key Highlights

• Alexander Isak opened the scoring in the 60th minute — his first Premier League goal for Liverpool — coolly finishing a cross from Cody Gakpo.
• Gakpo himself wrapped up the win deep into stoppage time, making it 2–0 to seal three points for the Reds.
• Late in the match, West Ham were reduced to 10 men after Lucas Paquetá was sent off for dissent — further hurting their chances of a comeback. 

📊 Match In Short

• Liverpool controlled much of the game: about 57% possession, more shots and chances created.
• First half ended goalless, but Liverpool’s control and pressing eventually paid off after the break.

✅ What It Means for Liverpool

•  This result ends a rough stretch — victory gives confidence back to the squad and silences critics about over-dependence on Salah.
• It proves they can still win with smart teamwork, depth in squad, and ability to seize chances — a sign that “the molecule” (team chemistry + grit) is still alive.
• It sends a warning: even without their star, Liverpool remains dangerous — watch out for more consistent performances going forward.
