From the WBA match report

"Seconds later, substitute Chris Wood chased down what seemed like a lost cause and played the ball back to Tchoyi, who skipped inside and drilled a low shot a shade past the near post and into the side-netting.
To rub salt into Albion's wounds, Morrison was harshly sent-off four minutes from time for a mistimed challenge on Torres.
Despite being down to tern men, Albion continued to put the Reds' goal under pressure but they just could not breach the hosts' well-drilled rearguard."
