Liverpool vs West Brom player ratings: Who impressed? Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Ben Foster?

Jurgen Klopp's side dominated but were forced to hang on for all three points after a late Gareth McAuley goal

Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane fired Liverpool to victory over West Bromwich Albion but a late defensive lapse cost them the chance to go top of the Premier League.

Having dominated proceedings from the first whistle at Anfield the Reds were unfortunate not to be further ahead when Gareth McAuley took advantage at a late corner and a 2-1 scoreline was not quite enough to topple Arsenal at the summit.

Yet there was much to love about the Reds here, not least in the first half when Coutinho dummied brilliantly to pave the way for Mane's 20th-minute opener and produced a neat turn and finish after his team-mate repaid the favour.

They could, and should, have won by a more handsome margin but one clean sheet in nine matches tells its own tale.

Who impressed as Jurgen Klopp's men overcame Tony Pulis' entrenched defence?
