#2 West Brom wasteful in attack
Trending
They may have been behind the ball for the majority of the game, but West Bromwich Albion certainly had chances to score themselves during the course of the match. A looping Solomon Rondon header from a fantastic Darren Fletcher pass was tipped over by Thibaut Courtois, before a couple of Baggies’ corners were delivered long.
McClean could not send Rondon clear on goal from a counter-attack, while David Luiz had to make a last-ditch clearance to prevent the Irishman’s low cross from finding its way through to Rondon.
Rondon’s lack of pace let him down when he was one-on-one against Courtois midway through the second half. Substitute Nacer Chadli also narrowly missed the target from an acute angle with only the Belgian keeper in his way.
The Baggies haven’t yet secured the eighth place with former Champions Leicester City breathing down their neck. A draw or a win here could have helped them strengthen their current position.
