Liverpool 2 West Ham 2: Both sides let down by their goalkeepers, but who got star man?
Dream Team ratings revealed on a day where Loris Karius and Darren Randolph most certainly won't be getting many fantasy league points
LIVERPOOL lost ground on leaders Chelsea as they slumped to a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham.
For the second week in a row, Loris Karius cost his side crucial points after his error handed Bournemouth a 4-3 victory last week.
This week Karius failed to rush out decisively as Michail Antonio dinked the ball past him to cancel out Adam Lallana's opener.
And he was slow to scramble across to Dimitri Payet's free kick, which nestled in the bottom corner to give West Ham a 2-1 half time lead.
But Hammers goalkeeper Darren Randolph was determined to give his opposite number a bit of Christmas cheer.
Randolph took some attention of Karius' howlers by committing the worst error of the day, when he fumbled a cross into the path of Divock Origi.
Liverpool enjoyed 68% possession but only managed three shots on target thanks to a superb Hammers defensive effort.
And it was one of those West Ham defenders who was rewarded with star man.
