Albion looked to be well on their way to a first win in six games - but were pegged back by Luton Town on Friday evening.

Josh Maja produced a piece of magic to give Albion a half time lead, with the only effort of the half.

However, Albion conceded possession and gifted Tahith Chong an equaliser. They then had to weather a storm before going on to have a late spell of pressure themselves, but it was a point apiece.

Jonny Drury looks at some talking points to come from the evening:

A show of character

Aside from Maja's magic opener, the less said about the first half the better. Albion were bad, and Luton were only slightly better. Arguably West Brom should have been behind for the took the lead.

In the second, one major mistake from Alex Mowatt cost Albion. Aside from that, despite not dominating the ball and having a bucket load of chances, Albion carried more of a threat.

What they did also show was resilience and character for a real 'tin hat' job, as Luton threw balls into the box in the hope of getting a winner. It was the first time we have seen this new look Albion side kind of have to deal with that.
