Twitter Reacts as Liverpool Leave It Late to Rescue Point Against West Brom

There was a dramatic finish at Anfield on Sunday, as a late, deflected Divock Origi strike rescued Liverpool a point at home to West Bromwich Albion.

The day started with Liverpool welcoming back players from both sides:

"

Henderson gets a biggish one on his return. Coutinho a bigger one. Not sure anyone cares yet. Very quiet so far! Needs a fast start.

"

Nice cheer from #LFC crowd for Rickie Lambert as his name announced by @Petermcdowall10 on the pitch.

While a Liverpool old boy was cheering on:

"

Can't watch the game lads. Keep me posted please. TWITTER ON!!! Liverpool vs West Brom . Game on!

— Luis Garcia (@LuchoGarcia14) December 13, 2015"

Summer signing Christian Benteke was struggling for the Reds:

"

Benteke just controlled the ball & immediately lost possession on halfway line - resulting in a 10-second bollocking from Klopp.

Before captain Jordan Henderson marked his return with the opening goal:

"

The lead didn't last for long, though, as a Simon Mignolet error allowed Craig Dawson to level:

"

It's fair to say the internet was not impressed by the Liverpool goalkeeper:

Soon after, the visitors thought they were ahead, only for a Jonas Olsson goal to be ruled out for offside:

"

Olsson goal disallowed.

— James Pearce (@JamesPearceEcho) December 13, 2015"

"

Pulis fuming. Unless every attacker being offside now cancels each other out so that they’re all *onside*, disallow the right call. HT, 1-1.

— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) December 13, 2015"

"

Which of the four offside WBA players were they debating about there?

After the break, the home support roared into life following recent criticism from manager Jurgen Klopp:

"

The Kop doing its best to inspire #LFC here. They've responded to Klopp's call for a 'special' atmosphere.

— James Pearce (@JamesPearceEcho) December 13, 2015"

"

Very decent atmosphere at times today. #LFC

Big noise from the Kop, urging Liverpool on...

It didn't appear to work, however, as West Brom took a shock lead:

Any chance we can play all our games the second half of the season? #LFC

Things then went from bad to worse for Liverpool, as Dejan Lovren was stretchered off with a nasty-looking injury:

"

That's an awful tackle from Gardner. No idea how the ref's not sent him off.

— Jack (@JackWatson_) December 13, 2015"

"

Awful for Lovren. No idea how that was not a straight red.

— Cristian Nyari (@Cnyari) December 13, 2015"

But deep into the eight minutes of added time, Liverpool found an equaliser: substitute Origi's long-range strike took a huge deflection on it's way into the net:

"

Benteke was buffering the whole match meanwhile Origi just comes on and scores.

— ✨ (@HeyyItsNosh) December 13, 2015"

"

Origi is SO much better than Benteke.

— Jack Lusby (@jacklusby_) December 13, 2015"

The fortunate nature of the goal didn't faze the manager one bit:

"

KLOPP is going mad hahaha. Down the sidelines winding everyone in the crowd up!

— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) December 13, 2015"

"

I love Klopp. He must be so pissed at the performance today, but he's still urging the crowd on and madly celebrating that equalizer. #LFC

— Vince (@vincetalksfooty) December 13, 2015"

While another former player tweeted his delight:

"

Get in!!! Yes!!!! Love it!!! Go on the Reds!!!

— John Arne Riise (@JARiiseOfficial) December 13, 2015"

It finished 2-2, with Klopp leading his players on a surprisingly jubilant celebration at the final whistle:

"

All about image and reputation. Imagine if Rodgers attempted this after a 2-2 draw at home to WBA. pic.twitter.com/pohzUYoaMV
