Liverpool (2-1) West Brom: Twitter Reactions 1

Two first half goals from Sadio Mane and Phillipe Coutinho saw Liverpool defeat West Bromwich Albion by 2-1 to get back to winning ways. The Reds four-match winning run came to an end after their dull goalless stalemate against Manchester United on last Monday.

The Merseyside club’s flawless game was on full display as they completely dominated the proceedings at Anfield. In-form player Sadio Mane, who arrived at Anfield this term, opened the scoring after brilliantly steering in Roberto Firmino’s cross. The home side doubled their lead when Phillipe Coutinho when he picked the pass from Mane, then cut inside a West Brom defender to coolly shot into the bottom corner.

The Reds were dominating the proceedings after the second half too and their goal tally would have been much more but they missed a lot of chances to convert the chances. Liverpool were looking all set to securing the three points comfortably but Gareth McAuley’s goal in the 81st minute gave the home team some anxious moments. However, the Reds held on to collect all the three points. But the goal denied them the chance to go top of the table. Nevertheless, the win extended their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions to leave them second in the Premier League table, behind leaders Arsenal on goal difference.
