Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Forward Roberto Firmino scored a goal without looking at the net in Liverpool's 4-1 win against West Ham.
It was the Reds' third goal in Saturday's Premier League victory at Anfield in Liverpool, England.
Liverpool jumped out to a lead in the 29th minute, when German midfielder Emre Can beat Spanish keeper Adrian with a header off of a corner kick. The Reds went into the half with the 1-0 edge before forward Mohamed Salah increased the home team's advantage.
Salah took a feed into the box from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after the break. He then booted in a grounder with his left foot, sneaking the shot into the far post netting.

"I am really happy with the complete performance, all the individual performances were really, really good today," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said after the match, according to LFCTV.
"When we had problems in one or two moments, we had comebacks in the game and then didn't suffer or whatever. It was just a good game and we were really difficult to play today, I would say. We scored fantastic goals and created a lot more chances and that's against a David Moyes team - really good organized, in a good moment in the league, good quality, individual quality. So today I have nothing to criticize, to be honest.
