Tony Pulis: 'Roberto Firmino goal should not have stood'

Old Trafford erupted in the seventh minute when Ander Herrera won the ball in midfield, possibly by using his hand, and delivered an inch-perfect pass into the path of Marcus Rashford, who outpaced Luiz and fired low into the far corner of the net.

That is why Klopp intends to ignore external events in favour of ensuring the Reds keep up the standards that secured a crucial result over the Baggies at the weekend.

He said: "I don't think we made insane things (celebrations)".

"That everybody is asking me about [the situation] is no problem, I don't mind".

We got it back in the last 20 minutes of the game and we're disappointed we haven't got anything out of the game.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has warned the club's Chinese owners that the club may need to invest in the transfer market, in order to continue their momentum into next season.

"But that's nothing we have influence on".

"You can always do better but we learned already in the game. And it couldn't have been better [against West Brom]".

Liverpool have not been able to see out games in which there are not too many chances created and against opposition that is resilient at the back so last night will have been an encouraging sign for Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool have played 33 games and amassed 66 points, with 4th-placed Manchester City on 64 points having played one game less and 5th-placed United on 62, having played 2 games fewer than the Reds.

"We know it's a hard place to go to, West Brom, especially the last 10 minutes, but we dealt well with it and I think we deserved the three points". My one disappointment about our performance was the first 20 minutes of the second half.

Liverpool eventually broke the deadlock in the 46th minute thanks to Firmino who headed in James Milner's free-kick.

The Brazilian converted a flick-on from Lucas Leiva to seal a fifth win in their last seven games for Liverpool.

Klopp said: "He was really present around the set-pieces, with three or four or five fists [punches]".

West Brom manager Tony Pulis also singled out his goalkeeper Ben Foster, who raced forwards for two corners during the late push for an equaliser, nearly conceding on the counter-attack to Liverpool substitute Alberto Moreno. "I've just had a chat with him", said Pulis. "It knocked the stuffing out of us", he said. Maybe then I would have felt OK, but now it's done.
