Liverpool had a huge lead in the first half, in which the guests only defended deep in their half.
In the 12th minute the champions deservedly took the lead. Central Joel Matip found Sadio Mane on the penalty spot, the Senegalese controlled his chest and opened the scoring with an aerial shot.
Several more dangerous situations followed in front of Sam Johnston’s door, but the hosts did not take advantage.
In the second half, the guests were a little more active and looked toward Alison Becker’s door. After an hour of play, Matip was forced to leave due to injury and was replaced by Reese Williams, which affected Liverpool’s defensive play, and West Brom took advantage.
In the 72nd minute Carlan Grant edged Williams out into a clear position down the left in the penalty area after a long pass from Romain Sawyers but failed to pass Alison.
Ten minutes later, the guests tied. Semi Ajay scored a 1: 1 header off a cross from the right by reserve Matheus Pereira.
Liverpool could have done it a minute before the end, but Johnston made a great save with one hand after a Roberto Firmino header from the edge of the penalty.
