# Liverpool Player Ratings: West Brom (H)

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/12/24/fabrizio-romano-confirm-liverpool-contact-with-ozan-kabak-agent/) hosted West Brom for their festive Premier League fixture as the table toppers were looking to go five points clear at the summit but instead handed a belated gift to their visitors at Anfield.

[Jurgen Klopp](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/12/26/liverpool-injury-news-wba-thiago-milner-shaqiri/)‘s side, fresh off a rare eight-day hiatus between matches, [dominated the first half](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-w-brom/428982) and perhaps could have been further clear than the Sadio Mane goal they had to show for their first 45 minutes’ work.

The failure to extend the lead always looked a dangerous one as, in contrast to the first half, Liverpool were [sluggish in the second](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-west-brom-live-stream-19526094) as West Brom countered effectively and earned a point through a Semi Ajayi header.

The equaliser [sparked some life](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-w-brom/428982) back into a previously listless Reds side but their efforts came to nothing as time ran out on the hosts’ charge for a late winner.

It was a disappointing result for Klopp’s men, who [should have capitalised](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2020/dec/27/liverpool-west-bromwich-albion-premier-league-live) on an early goal to take all three points.

Liverpool stay [top of the table](https://www.google.com/search?q=premier+league&rlz=1C1CHBD_en-GBGB769GB769&oq=&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=lg;/g/11j4y8fvpd;2;/m/02_tc;st;fp;1;;) – albeit by just three points having succumbed to a Sam Allardyce spoiler – ahead of the trip to Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

Here’s how we rated the Reds on show yesterday…
