Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool would have taken over at the top of the Premier League table if they had won this game by a two-goal margin. The Reds had now gone seven Premier League games without defeat and were now unbeaten in their last 12 league games at Anfield (won seven). They had now failed to score in only two of their 19 home Premier League games under manager Jurgen Klopp. Divock Origi replaced Sadio Mane in the first minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 13th This was West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis' first defeat in his last nine Premier League meetings with Liverpool (drawn six). The Baggies had now won one of their last 11 away games in the Premier League (lost four). With his 11th goal, defender Gareth McAuley became the 11th player to score more than ten goals for Albion in the Premier League.
