Liverpool Bounce Back.


Robbie Keane's first BPL goal for the club sent Liverpool to the top of the table for at least 24 hours.

Keane's double and a rare goal from Arbeloa ensure Liverpool bounced back from their defeat away to Spurs last weekend.

Though the 3-0 scoreline was flattering, the Baggies took the game to Liverpool and frustrated the Reds until the 34 minutes. Instead of playing a packed game, West Brom manager fielded two strikers to signal their intent. Torres started the game on the bench.

The game seems to be heading for stalement when a through pass by Gerrard sent Keane free and he lifted the ball past Carson. The pressure is off Liverpool as soon as they got the first goal.

Fear somehow creep in whether Liverpool can protect the lead. The game was considered well and truly over when Keane rounded off Carson for his second of the game.

The Baggies came out of the second half more stronger. They did created some problems for the Liverpool's defence which look a little suspect at times.

Any chance of a West Brom's comeback disappeared when Arbeloa scored in the 90th minute.

With Man Utd loss to the wounded Arsenal, Liverpool pulled 8 points clear off the Champion though the latter has a game on hand.
