West Brom won for the first time in three months, 2-1 over fellow strugglers Manchester City, courtesy of a Czech striker Roman Bednar's injury time header. Luke Moore gave Albion the lead in the second half but seven minutes from time City were back on level terms through Ecuador international striker Felipe Caicedo.

Albion boss Tony Mowbray admitted he was ready to substitute the winning goalscorer.

"It has been a difficult time for us because the players believe we have played well enough to compete in this league and give ourselves a real chance.

"It is important that supporters believe that as well and we all stick together. We could easily have had three points as well against Portsmouth and Blackburn and yet today things went for us a little bit.

"We are delighted for Luke Moore. We all know how difficult a time he has had and hopefully he can kick on from here.

"When we were 1-0 up, I was going to try to protect the lead by playing one up front and the intention was to take off Roman.

"But then Jonathan said he had double vision and was struggling to see so he had to come off instead.

"Maybe that twist of fate, with Roman scoring the winner in the 92nd minute, is what we need."
