Liverpool's Set-Piece Improvement Leads to 5-2 Win Over West Ham

Liverpool secured a 5-2 Premier League win over West Ham, with all three first-half goals coming from corners, highlighting a marked improvement in their set-piece performance under manager Arne Slot. After being the league's worst in set-piece outcomes at the end of 2025, Liverpool have become the best in this area in 2026. Slot noted the team's overall better play despite earlier losses and attributed the turnaround to returning to normal form rather than coaching changes. The victory lifted Liverpool to fifth place, strengthening their chances for Champions League qualification next season.
