Peter Odemwingie scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion in their 3-0 win over Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool on Saturday afternoon. The Nigerian international scored the Baggies second goal from the penalty spot after Skrtel had committed a foul.
First Half
The match began on a good note for Liverpool as they were fully dominant. Luis Suarez created plenty of problems for West Brom's defence, but he failed to convert his chances. The biggest miss of the half came from the Uruguayan. A decent cross from Glen Johnson was headed over the ball with just an empty net to beat. Fabio Borini was impressive in his first EPL match. The Italian gained confidence as the game went on. Meanwhile, Zoltan Gera scored one a brilliant volley in the 43rd minute of action, The Hungarian player chested the ball down before whipping a volley that sailed into Reina's net.
Luis Suarez picked up a yellow card for a bad gesture towards a linesman in the closing moments of the half.
Second Half
However, things became worse for the Reds when Daniel Agger was sent off for a tackle on Shane Long around the penalty box. The Danish defender might have played his last game for Brendan Rodgers due to his impending move to Manchester City. That incident occurred after Luis Suarez had missed a good chance in the 48th minute with a shot that went wide off Foster's goal.
Missed penalty
Shane Long's spot kick was saved by Pepe Reina. Several Liverpool fans were happy with the save, but it wasn't long before another penalty was awarded to Steve Clarke's wards. Martin Skrtel tripped Shane Long and Peter Odemwingie stepped up to fire the ball past Reina to make it 2-0.
Jamie Carragher came on for Stewart Downing while Joe Cole replaced Lucas Leiva who was on a yellow card.
Steve Clarke who was Dalglish's former assistant last season made a great change later on as he introduced Romelu Lukaku. The Chelsea player who is on loan at the Hawthorns scored a thumping header to give his side a 3-0 win over Liverpool. Luis Suarez missed two other chances before the end of the game. Ben Foster dropped the ball on his foot only for him to fire over the ball from four yards. He also headed the ball over the bar after a great cross from Fabio Borini.
Liverpol's next match is against Hearts in Thursday's Europa League game.
