Play by play
- 95'
<b>FULL TIME</b> - and that is that. A great second half and Villa will be devastated they couldn't hold onto a 2-0 lead. West Brom fought back well and could have won it but their first half performance was criminal. Villa move above Reading into 17th.

The offside flag is up and the most grateful man at The Hawthorns is Benteke - his pass looked to have set Jones up for a run on Guzan.
- 92'
Barnstorming run from Lukaku, his cross to the near post is lunged at by Odemwingie but Lichaj does extremely well to clear behind.
- 91'
How is that not a back pass?! Battling with Lukaku, Lowton stabs the ball back to his keeper, who catches, and that is a decision Probert has bottled.

- 86'
Villa again struggle to deal with Lukaku in the area - he and Clark had hands all over each other.
- 85'
Villa screamed for a foul as McAuley's marker, Lichaj I think, fell to the floor. There was grappling.
- 84'
From a corner McAuley heads towards goal and Odemwingie volleys into the net from close range. Heartbreak for Villa.

- 82'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Rosenberg replaces Dorrans, as we see a replay of a Baggies fans throw a snowball at Matt Lowton. He missed.
- 80'
Add that one to the list - Holman drags a shot wide of the target from 25 yards.

Odemwingie, why do QPR want him? He brings down a Thomas cross and thumps his shot a mile over the bar.

Brunt whacks one wide with his right foot. Chris, don't do that.
- 71'
Guzan comes and punches well from Brunt's corner.
- 70'
Nice football between Thomas and Lukaku as they send Odemwingie to the byline but he smacks the cross miles too fast and nowhere near any of his team-mates.
- 69'
Jones gets into the area, knocks the ball past Clark and runs into him but that's not enough for a penalty.
