Nuri Sahin’s Brace against West Brom in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday guided Liverpool through to the fourth round with a 1-2 win at the Hawthorns.

Brendan Rodgers named a largely inexperienced match day squad ahead of Saturday’s league fixture away to Norwich, with 16-year-old Jerome Sinclair earning a call up. New signing Samed Yesil lead the line upfront.

The visitors got off to the worst possible start, Brad Jones couldn’t hold on to a free-kick directed into the box, allowing Gabriel Tamas to finish into an empty goal.

With a young side, Rodgers' men dug deep and clawed their way back into the game. They were soon rewarded courtesy of a Ben Foster error. The ‘keeper couldn’t keep out Sahin’s drive from distance as the scores leveled at 1-1.

The second half saw the introduction of Jerome Sinclair, at 16 years old and 6 days, he is the youngest ever player to make a senior appearance for Liverpool FC.

Sahin made it 2-1 for The Reds in the 82nd minute. Spanish midfielder Suso picked up the ball on the half way line and drove towards the West Brom defence, as they backed off he slipped in Oussama Assaidi on the left, who in turn squared across the goal for Sahin to score a tap in.

Liverpool held on to complete a 1-2 comeback and progress to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup, where they’ll host Rodgers’ former team Swansea City.
