That’s when Aleksandar Mitrovic bundled the ball over the line before turning provider 3 minutes into injury time to set up Ayoze Perez for the match victor which keeps the hosts in 5th place, 3 points behind Manchester United.

“It was the best atmosphere since I came here”, Klopp told Sky Sports. Two set plays I know, we knew about the quality, the boys tried to defend it but it’s not easy. We were all in the game.
“We all were in the game, we all were concentrated, we all wanted to get this one point at the end”.
Liverpool were dealt another blow when Lovren had to be taken off with his leg in a brace after a heavy challenge from Gardner.
After the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: “It’s a hard situation, he hit him full, but we hope it’s not too serious. But at the end I can live with it. This could prove to be a very special moment for us in the season to strike back against such a team”.
Lovren, who was bleeding from the knee, was taken from the pitch wearing an oxygen mask but Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said the defender “did not feel too bad” after the match and will face a scan to determine the extent of any damage. Two set-plays cost us, we knew about their quality in these situations but we tried.
Jurgen Klopp said the atmosphere inside Anfield during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Brom “felt like an explosion”. I can say nothing. Sometimes it takes more than a few seconds.
Klopp’s refusal to shake hands with Pulis after the final whistle and wild celebration of a point salvaged at home in stoppage time reflected a tense, ugly encounter at Anfield.
“I said to Simon at half-time, if somebody says it was your fault, it is not true, it is my fault”. I’m just so disappointed we couldn’t get the win.
“We created chances, made a ideal goal then conceded those two”. It’s really hard in England because there is no-one to protect goalkeepers.
Pulis also played down any perceived animosity with Klopp, insisting he was more annoyed about not leaving with three points. “It’s his dugout. I’ve been in the game a long time and I’ve been animated”. I have no problems with that.
“We’ve been hard-working, resilient and we gave it a go”.

“I don’t think there was a booking in the game was there”. Gards has actually played the ball. “The others Skrtel has gone right over the ball”, he added. Olsson had a goal chalked off by referee Craig Pawson before half-time for offside following a conversation with his assistant Richard West. It was the correct decision but how it was reached mystified Pulis. “The linesman never put his flag up”, Pulis said.
