West Brom 0 Liverpool 2: Gerrard and Kuyt confirm Baggies' relegation
A defiant Hawthorns was forced to stomach Groundhog Day as Tony Mowbray suffered the afternoon from hell. The Black Country crowd watched in frustration for the umpteenth time this season as the club's third relegation in seven years was confirmed with a defensive horror show and wasteful finishing that allowed a team from Merseyside to end Albion's season as it had begun.
Last August it was Everton who triumphed when they should have come unstuck. Yesterday it was Liverpool, the second-best team in the Barclays Premier League, who had to fight until the final whistle for the spoils.
The similarities in both displays were there for all to see. Make no mistake, the visitors were forced into such a fearsome rearguard action at times yesterday that it resulted in two of their players fuming at one another a few minutes from the end.
But the hosts were their own worst enemies, undone by errors that would embarrass schoolboys. It rounded off a desperate 24 hours for Mowbray, who had woken to distasteful headlines surrounding striker Roman Bednar, who had allegedly been caught buying Class A drugs and had been suspended by the club before kick-off, pending an internal investigation.
