London: Roberto Firmino fired Liverpool to a 1-0 victory at West Brom yesterday that moved Jurgen Klopp's men back into third place in the Premier League.

Firmino settled a scrappy game with a close-range header in first half stoppage-time to condemn Albion boss Tony Pulis to his first ever home league defeat against the Reds.

The Brazilian converted a flick from Lucas Leiva to seal a fifth win in their last seven games for Liverpool. They are unbeaten since losing at Leicester in February and now lead fourth-placed Man City by two points, although City have a game in hand in the race for an automatic spot in the Champions League group stage.
