Tony Mowbray's thoughts on West Brom "justice" after late thriller

Albion's head coach felt his side were good value for three points against the Owls after they arrived in one of the mot dramatic Hawthorns finales of recent memory.

Midfielder Jayson Molumby turned in smartly at the near post from a corner six minutes into stoppage time after Callum Paterson appeared to nab the visitors a share of the spoils three minutes earlier.

Mowbray thought his much-changed Albion were "dominant" in a first half which finished goalless and it was not until the 74th minute that debutant Adam Armstrong showed his goalscoring prowess with a wonderful finish to break the deadlock. The fifth-placed hosts strengthened their position in the top six with the victory over play-off chasing rivals.

"I think we deserved to win first and foremost," Mowbray said. "The whole first half was pure domination, I think, they had one shot which the keeper saved well.

"They're a dangerous team, fifth best away record in the league, we knew it was going to be tough. They've got the capacity to give you real problems.

"But I felt the game plan in the first half overran them a little bit. It was a disappointing to come in 0-0, I think they grew into the game in the second half as you would expect them to do.

"If you break 90 minutes down we were the dominant team, better team overall, and deserved to win the match and yet the madness of the last five minutes or whatever... we were so disappointed when they scored. They were building up momentum, getting the ball forward."

Mowbray revealed he spoke with his players this week about a recent lack of last-gasp drama for Albion.

The Baggies certainly put that right immediately - and it was some way to do so after Wednesday substitute Paterson appeared to spoil the day.

The celebration of Molumby's winner was something to behold, though things spilled over at full-time as visiting players were frustrated by the enthusiastic Irishman as Kyle Bartley stepped in and saw red for raising an arm to Wednesday's Svante Ingelsson.

The head coach added: "I talked to the players this week and they were saying how we never score late goals, I was saying we've got to create more chaos, more bodies forward, gamble a bit. It was a set-play and Molumby was on the move for the winner, it's a great feeling for the supporters to win a game I felt we should have won, though the nature was quite dramatic."

Mowbray, who remained a picture of calmness, said of the rollercoaster of emotions in stoppage time: "What was more frustrating when they equalised was how the game had gone, though they started to gamble a bit more and get forward quicker.

"Ultimately they got their deserts and scored a goal but I think in my own mind justice was done at the death because we got what I felt was a deserved three points.

"The score goes in the history books and we move on."
