On 4 October 2014, Liverpool welcomed West Bromwich Albion at home.

West Brom was a founding member of the Football League as early as 1878 and was one of the first football clubs in the UK. In terms of seniority, West Brom is older than Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool. Both Chelsea and Arsenal are bigger.

For more than 100 years, West Bromwich Albion have long been a traditional grassroots team.

In the 21st century, England's top flight has become the Premier League, and competition has become fierce. Old grassroots like West Brom are also surviving in the cracks. From 2000 to 2010, the team was promoted to the Premier League four times and the Championship three times.

After a decade of hibernation, the 100-year-old team has finally started a stable and new period in the 2010/2011 season. Since returning to the Premier League as runners-up in the Championship in 2010, West Brom have played for six seasons in a row, despite the ups and downs of the record, "Bang" fell to 8th and "Bang" fell to 17 narrowly relegation, so it even earned the nickname "Bangbang".

According to the characteristics of West Bromwich Albion's 'bang-bang' in recent seasons, West Bromwich Albion, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season and did not survive relegation until the final round of the league, will have a very good result this season.

In fact, West Bromwich Albion also 'followed' the team's development trend this summer, with a big recruitment, they spent 10 million pounds to break the team's all-time record to win Nigerian striker Idye.

At present, in the Premier League standings, West Bromwich Albion has two wins, two draws and two losses, and is ranked tenth with 8 points, the same as Manchester United, which is ranked seventh.

Most notably, West Bromwich Albion's two league victories have come in the last two league games, and they are in great form with two straight league wins.

So, despite the fact that this game is a contest between second and 10th place in the league and Liverpool playing at home, the media believe that Liverpool, who have just played in the Champions League in midweek and are relatively tired, will have some trouble in this game.

……

The development of the game seems to illustrate this as well.

Raheem Sterling's goal opened the scoring for Liverpool in the first half.

However, before the end of the last game, Lucas fouled West Bromwich Albion midfielder Brent in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty, which Belasino converted.

West Bromwich Albion drew 1-1 with Liverpool at half-time.

"Well done!"

"West Bromwich Albion are going to do well this season!"

"Jiang Chenxi's performance in the first half was mediocre, and when the Chinese star stops improving, Liverpool will be in trouble."

In the press table, reporters from London were smiling.

Chelsea currently lead the Premier League table with 16 points, followed by Liverpool and Southampton with 13 points, followed by fourth-placed Arsenal with 11 points; Given Southampton's difficulty in posing a threat to Chelsea, and Arsenal's traits in recent seasons, Liverpool are currently the most likely to compete with Chelsea for the league title, so the Londoners are happy to see Liverpool blocked.

Liverpool's reporters frowned, saying that if the team dropped points against an unconventional powerhouse like West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea, who had been very consistent this season, would take advantage of the difference.

Some of the journalists from Manchester are also in a good mood, Liverpool are Manchester United's sworn enemies, and seeing Liverpool play poorly, Manchester United is naturally in a good mood right now: in a bad situation, there is nothing more pleasant than seeing a rival in trouble.

……

The second half began.

The Liverpudlians soon discovered that their fears were unwarranted.

“Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal！”

Just five minutes into the second half, Jiang Chenxi scored.

It was Mohamed Salah's breakthrough that secured Liverpool a free-kick in front.

Coutinho's corner caused chaos in the West Bromwich Albion box, and West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Bromwich Albion. Foster shot not far away, Jiang Chenxi fully played his own point-grabbing characteristics, he squeezed away West Bromwich Albion's old central defender Lescott, volleyed sideways, and kicked the football into the goal in the chaos!

"The ball is in! Jiang Chenxi has scored!! Zhan Jun shouted excitedly, "Who dares to cross the sword immediately, only I am General Jiang!" Liverpool fans can now rest assured that with Jiang Chenxi here, they don't have to worry about anything at all. ”

Many Chinese fans in front of the computer erupted in cheers in the middle of the night.

……

"The 9th goal, seven rounds of the league, Jiang scored nine goals! Amazing goal efficiency! ”

"Jiang Chenxi scored! This is what he does best in front of goal! Pretty! "John. "With such a super-scorer and such a goal-scoring star, you don't have to wait too long for the cheers at Anfield. ”

In the stands at Anfield Stadium, the fans erupted in loud cheers.

It was a very morale-boosting goal, especially when the team was in average form and played very averagely, and it was a goal that stabilized the morale of the army.

Jiang Chenxi scored a goal for the team in the fifth minute of the second half of the game, which also opened up the situation for the team.

After that, the game was easy to play.

In the first half, Lucas, who made a mistake and gave the opponent a penalty, made up for it, he stole from the feet of West Bromwich Albion midfielder Morrison, instigated a quick counterattack, Coutinho plugged the ball, Jiang Chenxi ran diagonally, bypassed the defender and received the football, dribbling the ball to attract the attention of the West Bromwich Albion defender and then passing diagonally, Salah crossed the middle after winning the ball, Coutinho inserted the shot and scored.

Three to one!

Liverpool extended their lead.

This goal made the mentality of West Bromwich Albion players, who have always been known for their brutal style of play, begin to be unbalanced.

……

Just six minutes later, West Bromwich Albion's Gardner was sent off for a foul on Raheem Sterling for a second yellow card.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's free kick, the ball hit the shoulder of the jumping wall with a slight refraction, the goalkeeper couldn't save it, and the ball went in!

Four to one!

Liverpool led by three goals and the opponent was sent off by one man, so the suspense of the game was lost.

In the end, in the seventh round of the 2014/2015 Premier League season, Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-1 at Anfield at home to get their fifth Premier League victory of the season.

With the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League coming just a day later, Liverpool tied Chelsea on points with a game in hand, and temporarily climbed to the top of the table with a goal difference to become the Premier League leader.
