Alexander Arnold levelled up for Liverpool few minutes (41) to half time break.
Pablo Fornal made it two for West Ham, scoring in the 67th minutes, while former Chelsea star Kurt Zouma added the third for the Hammers with a header in the 74th minute.
Divock Origi netted another goal for Liverpool in the 83rd minute but West Ham maintained a solid defence to grab all three points on their home turf.
Sunday’s win which moves West Ham above Liverpool on the EPL log is David Moyes’ first win against Liverpool since 2010.
