Hal Robson-Kanu grabbed the opener for the hosts barely 15 minutes into the encounter with a stunning striker from within the 18-yard box.

Mohamed Salah combined well with strike partner Sadio Mane to level parity for the Reds in the 33 minutes. The Egyptian struck the ball from the edge of the box after receiving a fantastic pass from the Senegalese.

Alisson joined the rest of his teammates in West Brom's danger zone for the last corner of the game and ended up heading the ball straight into the back of the net as the Merseyside outfit claim maximum points away from home.
