West Bromwich Albion grabbed a later winner against Liverpool in a Premier League match on Sunday, to secure their first win at Anfield in almost 45 years.
The Reds, who enjoyed majority of the possession took 30 shots on goal during the game, but were stunned in the closing stages of the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Odemwingie-c29794 made the most of a defensive error in the Liverpool rearguard, to score the winning goal in the 75th
minute.
The defeat kept Kenny Dalglish’s side at the eighth spot in the league table and helped the Baggies leapfrog Norwich City, Swansea and Sunderland to the tenth spot.
The game also witnessed the return of the former Reds boss, Roy Hodgson who took over the management of West Brom in February last year.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 inside the box in the 10th minute, but the Dutchman failed to make the most
out of an easy opportunity, as he dragged the ball off-target.
Suarez then made a probing run from the right, and sprayed the ball inside the six yards box, but none of his team-mates were able to get a finishing touch on the ball.
The Uruguayan’s next attempt at goal was then deflected by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Foster-c7445, with Maxi Rodriguez smashing the ball wide from the rebound.
A string of opportunities for the Reds then saw Andy Carroll fire his header off-target, a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Agger-c9884 shot get denied by the Baggies goal keeper and a looping effort from Suarez go well over the goal post.
However, against the tempo of the play, West Brom came close of grabbing the opening goal in the 28th minute.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Henderson-c19102 came close for Liverpool after Carroll set-up the ball in his path, but a strong pile driver from the English footballer rattled the frame of the goal.
Suarez then played the ball inside the box for Kuyt, and his ensuing shot from close range was again denied by the woodwork.
However, like many other games at Anfield this season, Liverpool conceded a goal, even though they played better football than West Brom for majority of the game.
Glen Johnson’s poor pass in his own half was picked up by Youssuf Mulumbu, who sent Odemwingie one-on-one with Reina. The Nigerian footballer calmly dispatched the ball into the bottom left corner, to give his side a 1-0 lead.
The Baggies then weathered a late onslaught from the Reds and eked out their first win at Anfield in almost 45 years.
