Overview
- The match, played on Saturday, saw Blackburn take a 2-0 lead inside 12 minutes through two Andri Gudjohnsen goals before West Brom mounted a comeback to win 3-2.
- Barney Stewart pulled a goal back on 19 minutes, Isaac Price levelled from the spot with a composed Panenka after Sean McLoughlin fouled Jayson Molumby, and substitute Felix Horn Myhre scored his first Championship goal in stoppage time to clinch the win.
- Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray publicly disputed the penalty decision that led to the equaliser, saying he believed the incident should have been a free kick to his side.
- Toby Collyer was withdrawn shortly before half-time with a hamstring problem and his fitness is an immediate concern for West Brom’s midfield selection going into upcoming fixtures.
- The victory, West Brom’s second successive comeback, lifts them to fifth on 20 points and provides momentum for James Morrison’s side while underlining depth from substitutes and the tactical impact of Ousmane Diakite’s late midfield introduction.
