Matthew Virtue's second-half goal rescued a point for Liverpool as they drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League Cup.

Kyle Edwards put West Brom ahead when he picked up the ball and ran at the Liverpool defence before finishing into the bottom corner.

But Virtue gave Liverpool only their second point of the PL Cup campaign when he lofted the ball over the goalkeeper from distance on the hour mark.

Liverpool remain bottom of Group C, two points behind West Brom, who would have gone above Burnley into second place if they had won.

Swansea are top on seven points, two clear of Wolverhampton Wanderers having played a match more, with Oxford a point further back in third.
