They made hard work of it towards the end but Liverpool got the three points, which is what matters.
Liverpool ended the match as 2-1 winners against West Bromwich Albion in a game which, in all honesty, they could have scored four or five on the night. Jürgen Klopp’s Reds were on the front foot for the majority of the game and definitely looked back to their best after a dismal performance against Manchester United on Monday.
They were fluid, dangerous and an absolute joy to watch. If not for an insane number of missed chances and a poor set piece goal conceded, we’d be talking about one of the performances of the season for the Reds. Liverpool missed a chance to finish the day top of the league, however, we can’t take away from the fact that they played extremely well against a team that played a low block – something they’ve been accused of not being able to break down.
Nine games, six wins, 20 goals scored and 2nd in the league. The times are good at Anfield.
Here are my player ratings from the West Brom game:
