Brendan Rodgers started his top-flight reign as Liverpool manager on a frustrating afternoon at The Hawthorns as West Bromwich Albion put Liverpool to the sword with a 3-0 victory.

It was a great day for former Reds assistant boss Steve Clarke, who was in the opposing dugout as the new Baggies manager.

Goals from Zoltan Gera, Peter Odemwingie and Romelu Lukaku earned the home side the points, while Pepe Reina also saved a penalty from Shane Long.

To cap a bad day for the Reds, Daniel Agger was sent off.
