52nd min. – 2-2 – super skill from Nicholls as he cuts inside to level the scores.
59th min. – 2-3 – Ashley Malcolm, in the heart of the Baggies’ defence, mars an otherwise fine display by being caught in possession by the alert Nicholls who coolly slots the ball home past the advancing Dean Kiely.
70th min. – 3-3 – substitute Saido Berahino equalises with a superbly struck free kick, conceded because of yet another clumsy challenge by McDonald.
