Forwards
Fernando Llorente
The Spaniard scored his first away goal of the season as he was the first to find the back of the net at Anfield. Llorente scored three minutes into the second half after finishing from close range from a headed cross.
The 31-year-old caused further damage to Liverpool's title hopes as he scored a second just minutes later after heading in Tom Carroll’s brilliant cross and giving manager Paul Clement his first victory with the Swans.
Andy Carroll
In the absence of the dynamic Dmitri Payet, it was the Hammers’ old hero, Andy Carroll, who gave them the victory at the Riverside Stadium. The English forward continued his run of form with a brace to give his side a leg up into the top half of the table.
The 28-year-old was allowed to run into the box unchallenged before he headed the ball past keeper Victor Valdes. Carroll gave West Ham the lead yet again just before half-time as he aimed Michail Antonio’s rebound shot into the back of the net.
Manager
Paul Clement
Swansea manager Paul Clement won his first game in charge as his side overpowered Liverpool in historic fashion. The Swans made the most of their opportunities, taking advantage of the Reds’ defensive errors to win at Anfield for the first time in their history.
The English manager also inflicted Klopp’s men to their first defeat at home since January last year pulling Swansea out of the drop zone momentarily.
