Randolph could and should have done better for West Brom’s late equaliser

This was a tough call between Huth and Randolph; we go with Randolph because it was still in his control in the closing seconds of the game to see out a win.

Instead, the West Ham goalkeeper was involved in nudging and pushing Jonny Evans as Gareth McAuley rose to head home the equaliser for Tony Pulis’ side.

Earlier, after some controversial refereeing, Manuel Lanzini had scored in the 86th minute to give Slaven Bilic’s side a crucial lead.

Randolph, though, was left flapping in the air when the corner was delivered, from which the visitors levelled. Given the fact that it turned the tide in favour of the Baggies and earned them a point, the Irishman between the posts is our pick.

Honourable mentions: Robert Huth (vs. Swansea City), Ben Davies and the Spurs frontline (vs. Liverpool), Eldin Jakupovic (vs. Arsenal), Tyrone Mings (vs. Manchester City)
