West Bromwich Albion 2-2 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points

#4 Ings strikes, but that won't gather any moss

Ings scores, but will that be enough?

Liverpool outcast Danny Ings started ahead of Roberto Firmino, who was rested keeping the midweek game in mind. Just four minutes in, he justified his place with a goal as Liverpool were handed an early lead.

It was his first strike in 930 days - he last got on the scoresheet for Liverpool in October 2015 against Everton - and the ensuing joy and euphoria in his celebrations were palpable.

It hasn't been a smooth road for him since joining the Reds, having dealt with recurring injury problems and scoring issues. But despite the goal today, it's sad to put that it would do little to convince the club to keep him.

He did miss two great chances later on in the match that might eventually leave a sour taste in his mouth, but Ings has fallen so behind in the pecking order that talks of offloading him in the summer have been doing the rounds for a while. And even if he were to be retained, he wouldn't see much of the pitch either. This goal is just a passing one.
