Daniel Sturridge tapped in a Luis Suarez cross to put the visitors ahead.
Albion picked up the pace after the break and Gareth McAuley had a powerful header palmed away by Simon Mignolet.
But West Brom were rewarded for their efforts when Toure's poor pass found Baggies striker Victor Anichebe and he drilled in a low shot
Liverpool were left to hang on for a point in the end and the result will come as a relief to their rivals for the last Champions League place.
Everton, who lost heavily to the Reds on Tuesday, beat Aston Villa on Saturday and are now only two points behind their neighbours, while Brendan Rodgers' side failed to capitalise on slip-ups for Tottenham,who drew at Hull, and Manchester United,who were beaten at Stoke.
Only goal difference was keeping West Brom out of the bottom three before the game but an inspired second-half performance will give them hope of securing Premier League survival.
Rodgers began his Liverpool tenure with a 3-0 defeat at The Hawthorns in August 2012 but, following a tame opening, his side's prospects looked brighter this time round.
Raheem Sterling was set clear on the right and, after his cross was blocked, he passed to Suarez, who guided a ball to the far post where Sturridge steered it home from two yards for his 14th league goal of the season.
