Divock Origi snatched a dramatic late draw for
Liverpool against West Brom, but Jordan Henderson
felt his side should have gone on to win.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was left frustrated at the
2-2 draw with West Brom despite Divock Origi's late equaliser
sparing his side from defeat in the Premier League.
Henderson's first-half strike was cancelled out by Craig Dawson
and Jonas Olsson looked to have secured only a third West
Brom win in 26 league visits to Anfield with a second-half
header, only for Origi's deflected shot in the 96th minute to
ensure the points were shared.
England international Henderson felt Liverpool could have gone
on to win the game at the death, but remains confident in their
chances of a top-four finish despite the setback.
"I think we're disappointed not to have won the game," he told
Sky Sports.
"I thought we created some good chances. We knew West Brom
would sit in. We're frustrated but at the same time we were
chasing the game and it's great to see Divock come on and get
the goal.
"After the equaliser I thought we had the momentum to get
another goal, I thought we'd sneak another. We kept going, but it
wasn't to be.
"Everybody's fighting to get as high as we possibly can but
we've got to take each game as it comes. Obviously we're
disappointed not to win today but we have to go on to the next
game."
Olsson thought he had given West Brom the lead in the closing
stages of the first half only for the referee to disallow the goal
for offside after consulting with his assistant.
"We said at half-time it was the right decision," Henderson
said. "It looked offside. I saw the referee speaking to the
linesman and they decided it was offside – I think that was right
decision."
