West Brom 1-1 Swansea

Albion had thrown on the unsettled Saido Berahino in a bid to break the deadlock between two of the League’s most goal-shy sides midway through the second half and Gylfi Sigurdsson struck for the visitors with a cool finish from 12 metres.

Fletcher was at the heart of the action last night, missing a handful of chances as his side chased an equaliser, finally coming in stoppage time when Salomon Rondon fired home.

It was harsh on Fabianski, who had produced good saves to deny Fletcher and Stephane Sessegnon, most notably.

“When in possession, they pass the ball so well and could have scored two or three goals”, Pulis said.

They were made to rue the missed chance deep into injury time when Rondon found an equalising goal. “It’s part of the game, I’m big enough to accept it, it’s fine by me, doesn’t bother me one bit”.

“We knew we’d get opportunities and you also have to concede that they’re going to get opportunities as well”.

“But we need to work on the finishing because we’re not getting in front when we should be and then it puts pressure on us”.

Dawson went close with another effort and, when his strike was cleared off the line, Rondon pounced to ensure West Brom grabbed a crucial point in their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Swansea later tweeted that Ki “is ok following the clash of heads in the first half, just a little concussed”.

He said: “Yes, now I am disappointed but my team played very well”.

“I didn’t see their player was injured and I was complaining that it should’ve been a corner to us”, said Fletcher.

Guidolin recognised that the point was a good one though as “West Brom are a good, strong team and are hard to beat [at home]”. “He has just arrived but he has enthusiasm, passion, and this is a dream for him like it is for me and he will be a good player for us”. “Saturday, we have another hard match”, with the Swans to face Crystal Palace, but the boss is keen to win in his first home game and goes into the fixture with his side having claimed seven of the last nine points available.
