This game ends a run of 4 huge games for us and I'm glad we came out on top. It was a thrilling game for the viewers as both teams pushed forward from the start till the end.

City could've scored a goal towards the end by Aguero's finishing let him down. Jimenez and Artur had a couple of chances to put us 2-0 ahead but City's defending was commendable.
In the end, it was a great win for us. Man City are one of the two teams that are right behind us in the League Table and victory against them is terrific!
View attachment 262951A very similar game to the Man City game - both teams pushing forward relentlessly but it was West Brom who came out winners eventually.
Roberts was back from injury after being sidelined for close to a month. And he marked his comeback with a great goal.
A quick one-two with Tonny Vilhena saw Roberts through on goal and the winger made no mistake to slide one past Cican Stankovic.
However, West Brom came back as we made a mess of a corner. We simply couldn't clear it. There were six headers inside our box and none of our headers were good enough.
In the end, Nabay tried to head it behind for corner but it ended up inside out own net. ****! Within 3 minutes,
Artur produced a magical moment. A shot from 30 yards that hit the woodwork before crossing the line. An absolutely brilliant goal by the Brazilian.
And then it went downwards for us.
Calderon produced a 20 yard shot to equalize just before the break. After that, it was contrasting attacks by the two sides. Both teams attacked but West Brom had more to their strikeforce. Out attempts all ended up wide of goal where as West Brom were incredible. Bettinelli pulled off several wonderful saves but in the end, he was beaten.
A Calderon header somehow managed to beat our keeper after several magical saves.
That was the last goal action of the game and WBA ran out winners. This is just our second defeat this season, and both were by a solitary goal margin.
