Pundits on the ESPN Star coverage panel believed it was Robbie Keane’s best game so far as a Liverpool player. I agree as well. No question that Keane provided the threat for Liverpool against a much overwhelmed West Bromwich Albion defense. Liverpool went on to an impressive 3-0 victory at Anfield.

Before the game, Keane did score a couple of goals for the Reds but all in European competition. With Fernando Torres continues to be not yet in game fit, it was certainly time for Keane to deliver the needed boost as the results of the last two games were definitely unimpressive by manager Rafa Benitez’s standards. And deliver he did last Saturday which moved them again at the top of the Barclays Premier League table with 29 points before Chelsea tied them up the next day with their own thrashing of Blackburn Rovers.

It was also a timely lift of confidence for a Liverpool side that seems to have lost a step after their conquest of Chelsea a fortnight ago. It was evident in the early goings of the first half wherein West Brom managed to create a few chances before Liverpool took control of the midfield which brought an impression that it would only take a matter of time before they scored their first goal. Keane has eager to oblige in the 34th as well as the second goal which resulted from another Liverpool’s pesky defense at midfield. Arbeloa provided the finishing touch with a third goal in the second half. Liverpool will meet Bolton Wanderers in the weekend.
