However, they levelled 15 minutes from time when substitute Kone was set up by Lukaku and drove a shot past Myhill.

Kone had only been on the pitch three minutes and was booked for celebrating his goal too much.

Lukaku then had the final word and although there were five minutes of stoppage time, West Brom could not find a third goal - they should have done but Rickie Lambert shot wide.
