Liverpool cemented their position in the top four after Roberto Firmino secured a vital 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns this afternoon.
It was a quiet opening to the game with clear cut chances at a premium and just as it looked like we were going in to the break goalless, the Reds broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time.
Midfielder Lucas Leiva flicked on a James Milner free-kick in the 46th minute and Firmino was on hand to head home the opener at the far post.
Liverpool dominated the second half but couldn’t find the second goal that would have settled the nerves with Alberto Moreno and James Milner missing great opportunities to make it 2-0.
However, the Reds held on to secure a huge win that sees them reclaim third spot in the Premier League and open-up a nine point lead over fifth-placed Everton.
