With goals from Ekittique, Van Dijk, McAllister, and Gakerpo, plus an own goal forced by Frimpong, Liverpool defeated West Ham 5-2 in a key match of the 28th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. French star Ekittique expressed his delight at the victory but said he still hopes to contribute even more to the team.

After securing three consecutive wins, Liverpool are currently fifth in the standings with 48 points, three points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. They will need to put in more effort to qualify for the Champions League.

Liverpool striker Ektić said in an interview, "I think it's a great win, the team played very well. I'm really happy with this victory, and we have to keep going because there's still a long way to go before the end of the league. But I'm very happy, and I think this victory is very important."

“Scoring early in a game like this is very helpful for the team and gives the fans confidence. Going into halftime 3-0 is great, but West Ham also proved that it doesn’t mean the game is over because they can get back into the competition. We also conceded goals, but when you concede, you have to be able to keep scoring, and we scored 5 goals. We haven’t scored so many goals in a game in a long time, and it feels great.”

Ekittik pointed out, "Every game is difficult. There are many excellent teams and outstanding players in the league who fight to the very last minute. So every game we play is tough; there are never any easy games. But we have proven that we can win, and we must continue to do so."

In addition, so far this Premier League season, the 23-year-old Ektić has scored 11 goals and provided 5 assists for Liverpool, and has also contributed two goals in the Champions League.

Speaking about his performance, Ekittiq said, "To be honest, I could have scored more goals, and I'm not particularly satisfied. But it's not just about goals, it's also about assists. I think I provided one or two assists, and as long as I can help the team and be involved, that's the most important thing. I'm eager to win, so from a personal perspective, I'm happy. Of course, there's still room for improvement, and I've had some good chances to score in recent games, so I must continue to work hard."

“I hope to show my best and contribute more to the team, because I know I can do more. It’s always a process of learning and improving, and I will strive to perform better, score more goals, and participate more in the attack in the upcoming games.”
