Sun Apr 13 15:29:58 UTC 2025: ## Liverpool Inches Closer to Premier League Title After Late Van Dijk Winner

**London, England** – Liverpool moved to the brink of their 20th English top-flight title after a dramatic 2-1 victory over West Ham United at Anfield on Sunday. Virgil van Dijk’s late goal secured the three points, extending Liverpool’s lead over second-placed Arsenal to a commanding 13 points with only six games remaining.

The match saw a thrilling back-and-forth, with Luis Diaz giving Liverpool an early lead after a superb assist from Mohamed Salah, who set a new Premier League record for goals and assists in a 38-game season (45). However, an own goal by Andy Robertson four minutes from time looked to have snatched a point for West Ham. Van Dijk, however, responded swiftly, powering home a corner to secure the victory just three minutes later.

Liverpool’s win puts them on the verge of a historic title win. They could clinch the title as early as next Sunday if they defeat Leicester City and Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town. The match also marked the 100th Liverpool appearance for Van Dijk, who expressed his delight at the win and the milestone.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, Chelsea dropped points in a 2-2 draw against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, while Tottenham suffered a 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, further fueling their managerial crisis. West Ham’s loss leaves them precariously positioned in 17th place, while Wolves moved up to 16th, increasing their chances of avoiding relegation.
