You would fancy him every day of the week to score from there. It is a great opportunity. The ball went straight down the other end. West Brom 1-0 Leicester End to end stuff as Isaac Price gets his close-range connection wrong with a far-post side-footed volley at one end before keeper Jakub Stolarczyk then sends Jeremy Monga sent free down the left and is fouled by Alex Mowatt just outside the box on the right. Breathless stuff. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Stephy Mavididi is the second City sub with teen sensation Jeremy Monga coming on to try to change the game. He gets a warm welcome from the Foxes fans. Within seconds he is passed the ball and tries to shield it, catching George Campbell on the chin with his elbow. free-kick, nothing more, much to the home fans' dismay. Have your say using the yellow Get Involved button Leicester need a goalscorer up front and I don't think Ayew is the man for the job! Andrew - Gloucester West Brom 1-0 Leicester What a let-off for City as Alex Mowatt's free-kick into the box is nodded into the middle. Wout Faes leaves it for Jordan Ayew to hack clear but he inexplicably lets the ball drop and it breaks to Gorge Campbell who can only lash an angled shot into the side-netting. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Ref Stephen Martin has brought Chris Mepham and Julian Carranza together for a summit after that hot-blooded confrontation, where Carranza looks to have shoved Mepham away. On we go but it's mere seconds before the City sub plays the ball first-time and goes to ground under a challenge from Jayson Molumby. Was there contact? Maybe minimal on his follow-through. The ref thinks it's simulation and Carranza's mood darkens further as he sees the yellow card held aloft. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Jack Rafferty BBC Radio Leicester commentator There is a minute of applause for West Bromwich Albion fan Mark Townsend, who passed away after he had a cardiac arrest in the crowd last year. There has been charity work to get defibrillators at every football ground in the UK. It is called the "One In Every Corner" campaign. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Proper wing play from Abdul Fatawu who hares down the right and whips in a curling cross which Julian Carranza can't quite capitalise on under pressure, and then concedes a free-kick as he tries to win the aerial battle for the second ball. Fast, furious Friday night football. . Carranza has just had a little altercation with Chris Mepham off the ball after the play had resumed too. One to watch. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Steve Hermon BBC Radio WM commentator There is a great atmosphere here and West Bromwich Albion fans are playing their part. Albion will soak up pressure in this second half. Leicester have dominated, but as Ryan Mason told us before kick-off, he doesn't care about possession, he cares about scoring goals. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Leicester go to sleep at the back and Isaac Price almost makes them pay, running in behind to control a ball over the top, though he had timed his run a fraction of a second off, and the flag goes up. A warning for the Foxes, however. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Real blood and thunder start to the second half and end to end stuff too. That Jannik Vestergaard header was Leicester's first effort on target, however, and for all their possession and dangerous crosses, they need more end product. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Tony Brown West Brom's all-time record scorer on BBC Radio WM Leicester defender Jannik Vestergaard should score there. He is unchallenged and has a free header. He has hit it straight down and into the keeper. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Jordan Ayew's free-kick is not great, 22-yards out but curled into the base of the wall. The ball is recycled to the right where a cross into the mixer from Harry Winks is met by a powerful downward header from Jannik Vestergaard which is straight at grateful Albion keeper Josh Griffiths. West Brom 1-0 Leicester Stephy Mavididi controls brilliantly on the left and slaloms his way across the box where he is wiped out by the sliding Nat Phillips. He looked to get a bit of the ball in fairness, but it's a caution from Stephen Martin, and a dangerous free-kick for Leicester.

HT: West Brom 1-0 Leicester Steve Hermon BBC Radio WM commentator West Bromwich Albion first-team coach James Morrison is in the technical area tonight. He was on the scoresheet last time Albion beat Leicester in 2016. It was a 2-1 win in the Premier League. Leicester's draw at West Brom was their third in succession A 93rd-minute own goal from Nat Phillips gifted Leicester City a dramatic draw with West Bromwich Albion in the Championship. A superb solo goal from Samuel Iling-Junior early on appeared to have been enough to earn Albion their first win against the Foxes at The Hawthorns for 15 years. Leicester had passed, pressed and probed in search of a response, but their control of possession and tempo of the game lacked a cutting edge. An early second-half header from Jannik Vestergaard was their only effort to press Josh Griffiths into action before the stoppage-time equaliser. Phillips' inadvertent own goal - which Bobby De Cordova-Reid created with an acrobatic volley for the Foxes - was made all the more painful for the hosts after they missed a chance to make it 2-0 moments earlier. After visiting keeper Jakub Stolarczyk had pushed out a Jed Wallace free-kick, striker Josh Maja wastefully blasted the rebound over from a few yards. Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes stuck with the same team held to a goalless draw by Coventry City a week earlier, while West Brom head coach Ryan Mason made three changes following their defeat at leaders Middlesbrough. On-loan Southampton defender Charlie Taylor started on his debut for the hosts, while Aston Villa loanee Iling-Junior was also brought into the XI for the first time. And the former Juventus winger wasted no time in marking the occasion in style. Meeting a deft flicked pass from Aune Heggebo, Iling-Junior outran Boubakary Soumare and skipped around Belgian defender Wout Faes before prodding his finish past Stolarczyk. The 10th-minute opener had come against the early run of play, with Jordan Ayew dragging a shot just wide inside three minutes. And after Iling-Junior broke the deadlock, Jordan James had an effort deflected over the bar and Harry Winks hit a volley wide as the Foxes searched for a first-half equaliser. West Brom continued to soak up pressure after the break and Leicester's quick passing and fluid football created few serious threats. Vestergaard was presented with the best of them, but he could only send his close-range header into the arms of Griffiths. The Baggies went on to create numerous chances, with George Campbell lashing a chance into the side netting and Isaac Price hitting a tame effort straight at Stolarczyk before Maja had a volley defected wide. Substitute Maja then went on to squander his huge chance in the 90th minute, while Toby Collyer curled an effort just wide. But in added time, a deep cross from Abdul Fatawu was met by substitute De Cordova-Reid, whose flying volley was turned in to his own net by Phillips. Samuel Iling-Junior marked his first West Brom start with a superb solo goal West Brom boss Ryan Mason told BBC WM: "It's disappointing, we deserved to win the game. We did more than enough to win the game, so we are hurting. "The performance deserved so much more. The lads played incredibly well. "It's clear we created enough chances to win the game, and 1-0 is a dangerous scoreline. "I can't fault the lads' effort, I can't fault the lads' quality. We had so much personality and I thought we played an extremely good game against a really good side, and we were the better team and should have won the game. "It's something we have to improve on if we want to be successful in this league. Of course you need to take those opportunities, you need to kill the game off, and we were made to pay for it. " This video can not be played Mason: 'You need to take those opportunities' Leicester City head coach Marti Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester: "It's mixed feelings. We had good control, good dominance in the first half - and it was a very good first half, but unfortunately we went down. "Definitely we could have been more clinical in the last third to create clear chances, but I thought the team did a lot of good things. "In the second half, of course the closer you get to the end the more emotional you become and a it gets a little bit more uncontrolled, but I think at the end we got what we deserved. "The things I value a lot - the personality, the effort those guys are showing in every game - shows that this thing of 'Foxes never quit' is there, and we need to maintain that. But at the same time, we hope for even more quality in the last third to create more chances. "We need to make sure that we are better than just chasing a draw in the last minute.
