Dario Vidosic felt a point was the least Albion deserved at Liverpool on Sunday.

Dario Vidosic reflected on Albion’s late leveller at Liverpool and said: “We’ve never lost belief away from home.”

Rosa Kafaji found the net with little more than 60 seconds of injury-time remaining to earn the visitors their first WSL point on the road this season.

Narrow single-goal defeats have been the order of the day so far, but Albion’s head coach said felt the 1-1 draw was deserved and paid tribute to the goalscorer for making a difference when it mattered.

He said: “If we look back and reflect on the games away from home, we’ve been a but unlucky.

“And when we look back on this, we can say parts were good and parts haven’t been so good. So, there are good emotions and some not-so-good ones.

“But we’ve played a team desperate to put some points on the board. And, early on, we were unlucky. We hit the angle of the post and crossbar with a header.

“What was important for me after Liverpool scored was that the belief never really went away. We’ve had two big chances before they scored. After it, we had that chance with Fran (Kirby). It was fantastic defending from them.

“That can take the spirit out of you - but I think we were rewarded in the end for something we deserved.”

And there was a pat-on-the-back for Kafaji whose confident late finish denied the hosts their first win of the season.

Albion’s head coach added: “Rosa’s got herself on and made a terrific impact. She’s changed the game - and that’s great for her.

“We’ve talked to her during the week. She’s reflected upon what was said and she’s come on and had a positive effect. It’s part of a young player’s development.

“There are going to be moments when you’re at your highest - where everyone is talking about you. And there will be moments when nothing is working.

“But we try to talk to the girls, so that they stay somewhere in the middle. They’re all learning. So, they need these experiences to learn and sometimes the tougher ones are where you learn the most, but she made a great impact today.”
