LIVERPOOL (United Kingdom): West Brom snatched a shock 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in the latest twist in the Premier League title race.
Liverpool manager Klopp was unhappy with the result and said that the team only had themselves to blame.
“It was our own fault,” said Klopp. “We gave them simple corners and that’s the only thing they wanted to have tonight. To be fair West Brom did their job inside 90 minutes. They deserved the point tonight because we didn’t finish the game.”
The Baggies remain second bottom of the table, but gave their chances of survival a huge boost by becoming the first side to take points off Liverpool at home this season in Sam Allardyce’s second match in charge.
The English champions seemed set for a comfortable afternoon as Sadio Mane’s fine finish gave them a deserved 12th minute lead.
Liverpool’s dominance of possession reached 84 percent in the first-half as West Brom struggled just to get out of their half.
However, the visitors grew into the game in the second-half and got their reward when Semi Ajayi headed home from a corner.
“It is not a game we will talk about in 20 years but it is a game we have to play and we didn’t play as we could.”
Liverpool move three points clear at the top of the table, but a rare slip up at home offers the chasing pack in the title race an unexpected boost.
