Match of the Day running order: West Ham vs Liverpool first before Stoke, Leicester City, Southampton, Burnley

1/25
Standard Sport4 November 2017

West Ham's home defeat to Liverpool is first up tonight on Match of the Day.

Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool back to sixth in the table with a fine goal brace in the Reds' 4-1 Premier League win at West Ham.

The Egypt striker started and finished the rout at the London Stadium, where Liverpool also had Joel Matip and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on target.

Manuel Lanzini found the net for West Ham, but the struggling Hammers were well beaten in a defeat to heap yet more pressure on beleaguered boss Slaven Bilic.

West Ham have just nine points from 11 matches - the same tally at this stage of the 2010/11 campaign that saw them relegated.

Salah's 11th and 12th goals in all competitions this term took Liverpool back to sixth on goal difference, after Burnley had briefly leapfrogged the Reds on Saturday afternoon.

Sam Vokes headed Burnley to a short-lived stay in sixth place as the Clarets edged home 1-0 at Southampton.

Striker Vokes ended a five-match barren league spell with his first Premier League goal since scoring twice in the opening-day 3-2 win at Chelsea.

Southampton pushed hard throughout the second half but Sean Dyche's men prevailed by netting the game's only goal.

Dyche showed again why he is in such demand and linked to the vacant Everton managerial role, as he masterminded another important win for his high-flying Clarets.
