West Brom snoozed for a half to provide Newcastle a 1-0 lead. Chances are they chose to play soccer and equalised in the second. Alright! It had been a tale of two halves at the Hawthorns. Well, all football matches are reports of two halves. But this one, a draw contested between West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United, was an account of different halves. West Brom don't have much left to play for and it showed in a poor first half. Newcastle were well at the top and they continued to press despite taking an earlier lead because of an uncharacteristic Ben Foster error. The goalkeeper came out too much on a Papiss Cisse cross, and Yoann Gouffran made probably the most of his chance, going into an unguarded internet. Redemption was soon found by foster. The former England man was pushed into a smart stop after Steven Taylor(!) had somehow contrived to beat the offside trap, palming the defender's flick behind from a large part, and from the set piece he had to be aware of beat away Yohan Cabaye's 25-yard energy. Newcastle must still have gone further ahead before halftime, nonetheless -- Cisse took benefit of Jonas Olsson's bad backpass but his odd first-time chance finished up ballooning to the stands. Sooner or later, Steve Clarke managed to convince his men they should at least artificial some sort of work, and the Baggies started to return into the game in the dying moments of the first half. They needs to have been awarded a penalty when Simon Perch made a dreadful moving concern on Billy Jones the full yard inside the box only for Mike Jones to give a free of charge kick instead, and more poor fortune befell the hosts as they pushed for an equaliser. West Brom saw Robert Elliot save yourself brilliantly from Shane Long after fluffing a long-ranger off the shoe of Marc-Antoine Fortune and then, in the center of a series of corners, were hugely unlucky that Romelu Lukaku's thumping header found the crossbar as opposed to the top of the web. Ultimately, though, they made the breakthrough, with Jones working onto Lukaku's layoff to position in from close range with 64 minutes gone. The hosts did not stop fighting after their goal, possibly, and Elliot was called in to action once more when James Morrison discovered himself unmarked from Gorav Popov's combination. Fortunately for Newcastle, the header was saveable, and Elliot hurled himself to his left to tip the effort over the bar. Inspite of the pressure, the Newcastle defense could somehow manage to wait through the remainder of the second half, giving a.. to them. I assume, not so important point. Ok!
