Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn't had the easiest of starts to life at Anfield, coming under heavy criticism at times.

However today saw him overturn his fortunes with a very impressive display during Liverpool's 4-1 hammering of West Ham at Anfield. Emre Can put the Reds 1-0 after half an hour, before Chamberlain played through Mohamed Salah for Liverpool's second of the game.

Further goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane secured all three points for Liverpool, and although Chamberlain may not have scored, fans were more impressed with his all round game during the win.

It was the first time Chamberlain has completed a full 90 minutes for Liverpool since the game against Manchester City in January and has helped his side move up to second in the Premier League table temporarily with Manchester United playing Chelsea on Sunday.

Fans were quick to take to Twitter to heap the praise on Chamberlain following his fine performance. 

He'll be hoping he can replicate the form he showed today when Liverpool host Newcastle on Saturday in their next Premier League game as they look to strengthen their claim for second place in the league.
