The Hawthorns may have been somewhere that Bolton Wanderers should have picked up at least a single point, especially after the ego boosting demolition of Stoke. Alas, not even a Ivan Klasnic equaliser from the spot could lever a useful point from West Brom.

After the match Owen Coyle told the BBC;

“The game looked evenly poised at half-time but we were not at the same level in the second half.

“The game was there to win, and we had a platform to at least get a draw, but we left with nothing and that is disappointing.

“At 2-1 we were chasing the game and, as much as we pushed on, we didn’t create the type of chances we did in the first half.”
