Rondon strikes as West Brom hold Liverpool

-

LONDON: Salomon Rondon completed a remarkable West Bromwich Albion comeback from two goals down against Liverpool although the hard-won point from a 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns on Saturday will probably only delay their relegation.

The visitors establishe­d a comfortabl­e lead through Danny Ings and Mo Salah. Ings’s goal after just four minutes was his first in the Premier League since October 2015.

The striker should have had a second soon afterwards and probably been awarded a penalty after being bundled over by Craig Dawson. With Salah notching up his 31st of the season to equal Luis Suarez’s club record for goals in a season, Liverpool appeared to have done enough to take the points. Albion’s caretaker manager Darren Moore has, however, injected resilience into his side and, with Liverpool’s defence suddenly displaying their early-season sloppiness, Jake Livermore scrambled a goal from a corner after 79 minutes to give Albion hope.
