West Ham boss David Moyes insists they didn't deserve defeat at Liverpool.
Darwin Nunez struck for the 1-0 win, while Reds teammate Alisson Becker saved Jarrod Bowen's penalty.
Moyes said, "We came really close to getting something, it is difficult to say sometimes if you deserve more than you've got but I think we did tonight.
"We put Liverpool under pressure and created chances. We missed a penalty and didn't score what looked like a tap-in. If we play like that we will win more than we will lose.
"Nobody comes to Anfield and thinks it is an easy place to get a result - I know that more than anyone. But I think we ran Liverpool close.
"We're playing much better and beginning to integrate some of the new players. We are playing better and hopefully that leads to better results. We go away from here knowing we gave it a good shot."
On how Bowen is feeling after missing a first-half penalty to equalise, Moyes added: "It was a wonderful save from Alisson. Jarrod scored a good penalty the other week and we have to give credit to the goalkeeper. We think a lot of Jarrod and he will be fine."
