Sahin fired his first goals for Reds

Nuri Sahin fired his first goals for Liverpool as they scored a morale-boosting 2-1 win over West Brom at the Hawthorns.

A blunder from Reds goalkeeper Brad Jones gifted Gabriel Tamas a third-minute opener, but the Capital One Cup holders were level at the break after Ben Foster failed to stop Sahin's 30-yard strike.

Turkish international Sahin impressed around the middle of the park and he popped up for the winner eight minutes from time, converting Oussama Assaidi's low cross to grab a deserved victory.

West Brom were 3-0 winners when the teams met on the opening day of the season and they were gifted a dream start after a clanger from Jones.

The Reds goalkeeper spilled a Liam Ridgewell free-kick into the path of the grateful Tamas, who poked home his third goal for the club.

Sahin levelled matters on 17 minutes when his ambitious effort squeezed past Foster and into the net.

Liverpool grew in confidence after levelling, but they were forced to withstand a late West Brom barrage, with Graham Dorrans and Romelu Lukaku both going close.

Foster was fortunate to see Samed Yesil's fierce shot come off his leg and bounce over the bar, while Dani Pacheco and Jordan Henderson both hit the woodwork.

Jerome Sinclair became Liverpool's youngest ever player at 16 years and six days when he was introduced as an 81st minute substitute.

Then a minute later Sahin won it for the visitors when he found space at the far post to convert Assaidi's cross.
