Last-Ditch Vydra Halts West Brom Slide

[Folami David]

West Bromwich Albion began life without Steve Clarke by snatching a 1-1 draw at home to Hull City on Saturday thanks to an 86th-minute equaliser from Matej Vydra.
.
A week on from Clarke's abrupt dismissal as manager, Jake Livermore's first-half goal looked destined to condemn West Brom to a fifth successive defeat, only for Vydra to snaffle a late leveller after climbing off the bench.
.
The draw allowed West Brom to increase the gap between themselves and the Premier League relegation zone to three points, while Hull remain 12th.
.
West Brom caretaker coach Keith Downing made three changes to the team beaten 1-0 by Cardiff City in Clarke's last game, with Ben Foster returning in goal after four months out with a stress fracture of the foot.
.
Scott Sinclair and James Morrison also came into the side, while Hull's team was unchanged from the one that started last weekend's goalless draw at home to Stoke City.
.
After a low-key opening, the visitors broke the deadlock in the 28th minute with an excellent counter-attacking goal.
.
From a West Brom corner, David Meyler fed Danny Graham, who in turn out picked out Livermore, and the on-loan Tottenham Hotspur midfielder finished from a narrow angle.
.
Downing introduced Saido Berahino in place of Sinclair at halftime and West Brom improved, with Tom Huddlestone blocking from Youssouf Mulumbu and Shane Long curling a left-foot shot just over.
.
West Brom were indebted to Foster for keeping them
in the game, however, after the England international produced a fine double save to thwart Huddlestone and Ahmed Elmohamady.

At least they got a point from that game. I did not see them drawing or winning that game but they did the former so kudos to them.

That was a good one point for West Bromwich Albion because it helped them step up in the league. It came at the right time
