Liverpool 2-3 West Bromwich Albion: 5 Talking Points
In an action-packed game full of drama and turning points, West Bromwich Albion managed to provide one of the shocks of the FA Cup fourth round after toppling Liverpool at Anfield - handing them their second loss in as many games across all competitions.
Things started off perfectly for the hosts, having raced into a 1-0 lead through Roberto Firmino after five minutes. Jay Rodriguez's quick-fire double was enough to see the Baggies ahead though, before Joel Matip turned the ball into his own net to gift the visitors a two-goal cushion going into the interval.
Mohamed Salah's second-half strike proved to be nothing more than a consolation in the end, as the visitors held on for a famous FA Cup triumph.
#5: The first ten minutes set the course for the entire evening
Liverpool went into the game on the back of a disappointing away defeat at the hands of Swansea last time out. Knowing it was essential to start on the right note, the Reds played their normal attack-minded brand of football, maintaining a high line while pressing their visitors' backline in the final third too.
Their hard-working attitude reaped instant rewards as a rare mistake from Jonny Evans proved enough for Salah and Firmino to capitalise to devastating effect. After Ben Foster denied Salah's initial effort, Firmino made no mistake with the rebound - a deft finish to take the lead.
However, the celebrations within a packed Anfield crowd were short-lived, as Rodriguez pulled his side back on level terms just 68 seconds later. A few minutes after the equaliser, the 28-year-old found the back of the net once again - taking advantage of a lapse in concentration from the hosts' backline to slot the ball home.
