The hosts were the first team to apply pressure as they won a free kick deep in the Liverpool half. The ball fell into the path of Craig Gardner, whose strike from distance went wide of the target.

Brendan Rodgers's side managed to win a corner to push the Baggies back, and, although the first ball into the box was cleared, another cross was headed on by Martin Skrtel, but the ball fell agonisingly out of the reach of Mario Balotelli at the back post.

Liverpool continued to exert pressure on the West Brom goal as they won a free kick just outside the box. Steven Gerrard took it, but his strike went inches over the crossbar.
