Liverpool will undoubtedly be disappointed to leave the Hawthorns with only a point after a Kolo Toure howler midway through the second half gifted West Brom the equalizer in the 1-1 draw. Here are three things we learned from the fixture.
1. SAS is still intact
There were suggestions of trouble in paradise in midweek when there was an ugly altercation between Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge after the later took on a shot instead of passing to his strike partner who was in a better position. The spat continued, and manager Brendan Rodgers had to withdraw the England international to put a lid on things. Even though he apologized for his actions after the game, there were questions as to how the two would link up on the pitch.
They dispelled all doubt after Suarez curled the ball with his left foot into the path of Sturridge for the latter to tap the ball home from close range. It was the 40th time in all competitions that either of the two had scored. Suarez and Sturridge both had chances to extend their tally but failed to beat West Brom keeper Ben Foster, but one thing is clear- the understanding between the duo is still there.
