Scott Parker’s side were unable to capitalise on Sheffield United’s 1-1 draw with Bristol City, while leaders Leeds United aren’t in action until tonight.
A 1-1 draw was about the right result, however, with Tony Mowbray’s side limiting the Clarets to very few clear-cut opportunities in front of goal.
The points were shared after Zian Flemming got the home side back on level terms after John Swift’s free-kick had given West Brom the lead.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:
9. Josh Brownhill - 6/10
Covered plenty of ground, putting in a real defensive shift off the ball. Conceded the free-kick that led to West Brom’s goal. Photo: Alex Livesey
10. Marcus Edwards - 5/10
Not at his usual high standards, often drifting in and out of the game. Got to get used to being double marked. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
11. Jaidon Anthony - 6/10
Came as close as anyone to scoring in the second-half when he clipped the top of the crossbar with a delightful curling effort. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
12. Zian Flemming - 6/10
Got Burnley back on level terms from close range for his 10th of the season, but otherwise struggled to hold the ball up. Would have been a 5 were it not for his goal. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
