  Ben Foster Flop of the Match

  Made a terrible error to gift Liverpool their equaliser, and almost gave them a second with a bizzare punch through his own legs in a difficult night for the former England man.

  Billy Jones

  Sebastien Gabriel Tamaş

  Finished well from Brad Jones’ error to give his side the lead, and otherwise looked solid in the centre of the Baggies defence.

  Jonas Olsson

  Kept Stewart Downing quiet throughout, while playing a number of long raking passes to give Liverpool’s defenders plenty to think about.

  George Thorne

  Struggled to gain much of a foothold in the midfield, with Sahin and Assaidi keeping him largely anonymous.

  Youssouf Mulumbu

  Was very comfortable in shackling Jordan Henderson, and while he picked up a yellow for persistent fouling in the first half, he continued to look confident throughout.

  Graham Dorrans

  Gave the ball away a little too often, but was industrious as ever and a useful outlet on the counterattack.

  Markus Rosenberg

  Still has not opened his account since joining the Baggies in the summer, but worked hard up front and was key in bringing Lukaku and Dorrans into play.

  Marc-Antoine Fortune

  Showed some good understanding in combining with Romelu Lukaku, but was in the Belgian’s shadow for much of the game and was replaced in the 87th minute.

  Andre Wisdom

  Looked nervous at first, but then proved to be a useful attacking outlet as he made numerous overlapping runs, and outdid team-mate Stewart Downing in his crossing and passing.

  Jamie Carragher

  Marshalled the young side well as captain, and made some crucial interventions as the Reds defence grew in confidence throughout the game.

  Jack Robinson

  Looked very useful going forward in support of Assaidi after a nervous start, and provided some good overlapping runs down the left-hand side.

  Sebastián Coates

  After a nervy start and problems with Lukaku, the Uruguayan began to look more confident in defence and dealt well with West Brom’s attacking play.

  Jordan Henderson

  Shackled in the centre of midfield, and was largely anonymous in the face of Mulumbu’s physicality, while giving the ball away on numerous occasions.

  Nuri Sahin Top of the Match

  Scored both goals for the Reds, and was a key cog in the centre of midfield both in his attacking play and defensive contributions.

  Stewart Downing

  Was guilty of a number of poor crosses, and despite some good tackles was far out-shone by Assaidi, even when he was able to find space beyond Olsson in West Brom’s defence.

  Dani Pacheco

  Had a vicious shot early on that was well blocked and had some good moments, but struggled to assert his authority as the Baggies defenders kept him quiet.

  4.00

  Oussama Assaidi

  Looked very dangerous all night on the left of Liverpool’s midfield, using his skills and trickery to give Billy Jones a torrid time throughout the game.

  Samed Yeşil

  Could so easily have had an equaliser in the opening 10 minutes, and had some decent efforts, but otherwise was kept largely quiet by West Brom’s defence.
