LONDON - Mohamed Salah scored twice to end a six-game Premier League goal drought, leading Liverpool to a 3-1 victory over West Ham in a resurgence of its title defence. Gini Wijnaldum grabbed the third as Jürgen Klopp’s side moved up to third, four points behind Manchester City, ahead of hosting the leaders next Sunday after midweek games. On a day when West Ham provided little attacking threat and slipped out of the top four, only a late header from Craig Dawson breached Liverpool’s goal.
