Origi’s late goal spares Liverpool defeat by West Bromwich
"Beating his chest in front of the
West Bromwich Albion dug-out, going eyeball-to-eyeball with Tony Pulis and leading his Liverpool team in triumphant applause in front of the Kop, Jürgen Klopp produced a
manic reaction to Divock Origi’s stoppage time equaliser as his team were held to a tense, ugly draw at Anfield. The home supporters revelled in their manager’s wild celebrations but this was an unseemly episode that would not have looked out of place in the Sunday amateur leagues.
The animosity between Klopp and the Albion bench had been building from the moment Dejan Lovren was taken off on a stretcher with a serious-looking knee injury as a consequence of a dreadful challenge from Craig Gardner. It erupted spectacularly when the Liverpool substitute Origi cancelled out Jonas Olsson’s second-half header with a deflected strike and Klopp danced on the visitors’ misfortune. The Liverpool manager walked away shaking hands with his Albion counterpart before being pulled into one by a visiting coach. An argument then ensued before Klopp led his team in a
celebration akin to a title win. Once the blood had cooled, this was another underwhelming result for
Liverpool who struggled against set pieces and aggression all afternoon".
