Spot on Baggies conquer Reds

West Brom came from behind to grab a famous victory over Liverpool and give Roy Hodgson some sweet revenge in a 2-1 win at the Hawthorns on Saturday.

The Baggies boss faced his former club for the first time after his sacking in January after just six months in charge at Anfield, but this win will go a long way to restoring his reputation, as well as an absolutely vital three points for the home side.

Maritn Skrtel gave Liverpool the lead shortly after the break, but West Brom responded well and were on top throughout as Peter Odemwingie ensured a day to forget for hapless defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos.

The Greek was constantly under the cosh from Odemwingie, who won a penalty off Kyrgiakos shortly after Skrtel's opener to allow Chris Brunt to fire home.

It was all West Brom following that, with Odemwingie causing more problems and beating Kyrgiakos again with one minute to go before going down under Pepe Reina's challenge and allowing Brunt to complete the comeback and seal an important win.
