Lewis Cox's West Brom player ratings: Raft of 4s but 7s and 8 as Baggies claim crazy comeback success
Albion reporter Lewis Cox scores the performances as Ryan Mason's hosts fight back from two-goal deficit to win in incredible circumstances.
JOSH GRIFFITHS
Not the keeper's best day and not his first errors of the season. Slight blame for 11-second opener but really poor rick for Swans' second.
Errors 4
ALFIE GILCHRIST
Back in the side but his poorest display in a Baggies shirt. Looked really unsure and lacked confidence. One of four hooked at break.
Hooked 4
NAT PHILLIPS
Very out of sorts. Has had poor games at times of late but struggled badly here. Guilty for handing visitors opener, never recovered. Booked so now suspended.
Struggled 4
CHRIS MEPHAM
Clearly the better of the two starting centre-backs but still wobbled on the odd occasion. Seems a bit unsure at the moment.
Unsure 6
CALLUM STYLES
In really good form and built on his return Wednesday. Always vibrant, energetic and forward-thinking with the ball. A threat.
Form 7
ALEX MOWATT
Along with his colleagues had a very poor first half but stepped forward and improved. Didn't down tools and kept running. Set up Albion first.
Improved 6
JAYSON MOLUMBY
Keep him out the headlines, I dare you. Villain to hero in seven days. Given the nod after ban and was always going to have his say - so he strikes winner. Wow.
Headline-grabber 7
SAMUEL ILING-JUNIOR
Started over Grant but had a very poor afternoon. Failed to make any impact in the final third and looked confidence-shot.
Struggled 4
ISAAC PRICE
One of the quartet hooked at half-time which says something about such a key man. Influence has waned in recent games. Poor here.
Waned 4
MIKEY JOHNSTON
Continues his rich vein of form. Undoubtedly Albion's biggest threat at the moment. High on confidence, direct and skilful.
Threat 7
AUNE HEGGEBO
Quickly becoming a cult hero in this form. Five goals in four games and seven for the season. Hero with the early second-half double.
Clinical 8
SUBSTITUTES
JOSH MAJA (for Price, 45) Like his old self. Set up winner. 7
KARLAN GRANT (for Iling-Junior, 45) Played big part in winner. 7
GEORGE CAMPBELL (for Gilchrist, 45) Continued fine recent form. 7
KRYSTIAN BIELIK (for Phillips, 45) Looks to have taken chance with Phillips suspended. 7
