The West Brom manager Steve Clarke has said that the former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster was responsible for the goal scored by Liverpool, which ultimately helped the Merseyside club in the league cup match against West Brom. Liverpool earned a hardfought 2-1 win over West Brom, who had beaten them earlier in the season.
The 3-0 defeat of Liverpool on the opening day of the season must have given the West Brom players a lot of confidence ahead of this match. However, they were unable to replicate the same form in this match and they were soundly beaten by their opponents.
