West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski blames himself for defeat at Liverpool last night.

The Hammers were heading for a shock win at Anfield before the goalkeeper's blunder allowed Mo Salah's tame shot to trickle through his legs to make it 2-2.

Sadio Mane scored in the 81st minute to move Liverpool closer to their first title in 30 years and leave the Hammers in the bottom three, despite this spirited display on Merseyside.

“My mistake basically cost the team the three points," said Fabianski.

“We did really well, we actually pushed Liverpool to the edge and I think if it was not for my mistake then we could have even won.

“I am really sorry that I let the team down. I held my hands up [in the dressing room] and I am really sorry for my efforts. I am the reason why we lost.

“I think the first goal and the second goal I should have done a lot better, because I was set, I was ready to react and my hands were there. For some reason I just misjudged it or maybe I was a bit relaxed in those situations, thinking that it was already caught or saved. It was me being a bit too relaxed, not being aggressive with making saves.

“I will do my best [to make up for it], work hard, make sure I cut out all the mistakes and try to be an important part of the season. We are still in a bad position and I will just make sure I am more focused and more reliable to help the team in the next games."
