Report and free match highlights from the Sky Bet Championship clash between West Brom and Huddersfield at The Hawthorns as late goals from Karlan Grant and Andy Carroll saw the Baggies hit back to earn a precious point
Friday 11 March 2022 22:08, UK
West Brom signalled there is still life in their bid for promotion from the Sky Bet Championship, as they staged a late fightback to hold Huddersfield to a 2-2 draw.
A goal either side of half-time from Danny Ward had put Carlos Corberan’s automatic promotion-chasing Terriers in control of the game, but a controversially-awarded penalty allowed Karlan Grant to halve the deficit against his former employers.
Andy Carroll then glanced in a cross to level within 60 seconds and there was even time for Grant to hit the crossbar in the final minute of normal time.
As a result, Huddersfield leapfrog Bournemouth back into second place – after extending their unbeaten run to 17 matches – with West Brom now up to 12th and seven points off the play-off spots ahead of Saturday’s fixtures.
