Jay Rodriguez seemed to have scored the only goal of the game on the half hour against his former club as Vincent Kompany watched the hosts spurn a series of chances to at least draw themselves level.
West Brom did finally get their leveller though eight minutes into added time with Brandon Thomas-Asante scoring a debut goal to remember.
Here’s how the players rated. Agree with our marks out of 10?
1. Arijanet Muric
8/10 - Close to being man of the match if it wasn't for Nathan Tella's brilliance. The giant was imperious in between the sticks and played a delightful ball for the penalty. Subbed injured late on. Photo: CameraSport - Paul Greenwood
2. Connor Roberts
6/10 - Was a better night for the Welshman until his mistake for West Brom's equaliser. Photo: CameraSport - Paul Greenwood
3. Taylor Harwood-Bellis
7/10 - Composed, class on the ball and dealt with Karlan Grant brilliantly. Starting to strut his stuff now... Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. Charlie Taylor
8/10 - Much like his partner, although you do wonder one day if a cross will find him lacking. But when push comes to shove, Charlie Taylor will put his body on the line for the Clarets. Absolutely indispensable. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
