Liverpool are up to third place in the Premier League after leap-frogging Manchester City with a 1-0 win over West Brom on Sunday.
Roberto Firmino produced the only goal of the match as Jurgen Klopp's side went two points ahead of City and within five points of Tottenham as they chase a Champions League spot.
Firmino found the breakthrough with almost the last touch of the first half, when Lucas's flick-on found the Brazilian on the far post for a simple header.
The Baggies up to that point had been largely in control despite the Reds enjoying the lion's share of possesion.
Alberto Moreno had a golden opportunity to put the result beyond doubt at the death when Ben Foster went up for a corner, leaving his goal wide open, but he missed the target.
Jurgen Klopp has had his say on Alberto Moreno's open-goal horror miss after he failed to double Liverpool's lead in their 1-0 win over West Brom, writes Mirror Football's Jake Polden.

Baggies keeper Ben Foster abandoned his goal in the dying embers of Sunday's game as the home team searched for that illusive equaliser.
Klopp was asked what he made of the miss following the fixture, but refused to criticise the 24-year-old who should have perhaps passed to a teammate.
"I told him after the game I know everyone thinks you could have played through Daniel Sturridge.
"I'm not sure that he knew that he couldn't, because it would have been offside, but maybe there wasn't that option, which I didn't really know.
"I'll have to watch it again. But it's completely normal in a situation like this, you think you have to do it.
"He had a few difficult weeks in the last few weeks, the last week was really good and so he deserved a few minutes. He's a good boy.
"I would have been happy for him actually if he would have scored this goal, but excitement until the end, always when we are involved, so all good."
