# West Ham Player Ratings: Liverpool (H)

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/01/30/liverpool-transfer-enquiry-issa-diop/) were beaten for the first time in 10 matches as reigning champions Liverpool left east London with all three points after a[3-1 victory](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/55879670).

A late Craig Dawson finish handed the Hammers a late [consolation goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8jY6zN3TPc) with the central defender firing home from a corner.

Here’s how we rated Moyes’ men after succumbing to a back to form champions…
