Albion 2 Manchester City 4 - verdict
Albion capitulated again to let a point slip from their grasp as Manchester City ran out winners at Eastlands.
Robinho's first goal for Mark Hughes' side of 2009 opened the scoring as early as the eighth minute, before Nedum Onuoha doubled the home side's advantage in the 21st minute.
But Chris Brunt gave the Baggies hope by pulling a goal back before half-time, when the winger gave it some welly to Marc Antoine-Fortune's hold up to find the net.
The Northern Ireland international enhanced his growing reputation with the equaliser nine minutes into the second-half, his trademark free-kick evading everyone.
But, if there's one thing that can be relied upon, it's the Baggies to self-destruct.
Elano restored the lead from the spot two minutes later, after Jonas Olsson dragged him down in the box.
Daniel Sturidge made the points safe at the death, converting Stephen Ireland's cross.
