West Bromwich defender Semi Ajayi could barely take the tension. In the 82nd minute he arrived when the score was 0: 1 against Liverpool after a corner kick with the head of the ball, which flew slowly against the direction of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker towards the inside post.

Ajayi already covered his head with his hands, he no longer believed in a tie. But after a touchdown at the goal line, the ball landed in the net – the equalization out of nowhere was perfect.

Remain a leader

For Liverpool (Xherdan Shaqiri is back on the bench for the first time since mid-November) the draw is annoying. 78% possession and an early starting goal from Sadio Mané (12th) should be against table 19. actually enough to win.

The “reds” have not won 4 times this season after leading 1-0 and have lost 8 points. In the table, Liverpool is still at the top.

The other games:

  • Leeds – Burnley 1: 0
  • West Ham – Brighton 2: 2
  • Wolverhampton – Tottenham 1: 1
