West Ham Vs. Liverpool: Late Glen Johnson Goal Gives Reds Hope

Liverpool has life late at Upton Park. Spending the first 35 minutes of the second half chasing two goals. the Reds pulled one back in the 82nd minute, with Glen Johnson banging in a goal at the far post, finishing-off the good work of Luis Suarez.

The Liverpool attacker gained possession to the far left of the West Ham area, turning no the ball and beating his mark to the byline. A left-footed pass through the six yard box was met by Glen Johnson, racing in from the weak side. Robert Green, electing to stay on his line and not play the cross, had no chance on the shot, with Johnson making it 2-1.

With eight minutes and stoppage time left, Liverpool has a chance to erase what's been a disappointing afternoon. West Ham came into this match in 20th place but have had control since Scott Parker opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. While a draw at Upton Park would have been a disappointing result at the start of the day, that's now Liverpool's goal.
