Jonny Drury rates the West Brom players after their gut wrenching defeat at Leicester City.

Josh Griffiths

Back in the side but hardly anything to do bar pick the ball out of his own net. Could do little about both of the goals.

Returns 6

George Campbell

All action night for Campbell. First half clearances were followed by two big chances. Inches away in the first half and had a header kept out in the second. Also charged down a loose ball to cross for Heggebo but he was denied.

All action 7

Nat Phillips

Back alongside Mepham and looked assured. Dealt with early balls and was solid all night. The only one against his name, he could have got tighter to Ayew for the opener.

Improved 7

Chris Mepham

Back in the side and looked like he had rediscovered some of that early season form. Superb cross field balls, helping Albion build from the back and just had a solid evening.

Passing 7

Callum Styles

Another who didn't have a bad evening. Superb cross for Campbell's second half chance and a late diving header prevented a chance. Small argument he could have got closer for the goal, but then he would argue he wasn't his man.

Cross 6

Jayson Molumby

Return to the line-up and showed his worth. Quietly went about his business all night long. Vital touches throughout the first half and then in the second he was involved in a lot of the Albion attacks.

Vital 7

Alex Mowatt

A superb ball for the Grant goal and he had a night where he was looking to play advanced and really get Albion moving. A few times his clipped balls over the top were causing damage and creating openings.

Mikey Johnston

The wingers were superb for Albion all second half. Almost headed Albion in front in the first half, then set a number of chances up in the second half that should have led to goals. Kept going right to the end.

Spark 7

Isaac Price

A few good early touches. Not really involved in the first half but came into it in the second half. Struck the post via a deflection, which was his biggest contribution. Not near early season form but better. 

Okay 6

Karlan Grant

Star man on the right. Driving runs from the off and looks like a man in form and with confidence. Took his goal so well, and was a constant threat in both halves. Deserved to be on the winning side.

Star man 8

Aune Heggebo

Played a hand in the goal for Grant as his flicked on found Mowatt. Tough at times but produced some good hold up play. Had a big chance in the second half but could only turn Campbell's cross straight at the keeper.

Chance 6

Substitutes

72 - Josh Maja for Heggebo - Few touches and almost had a big late chance to win it 5

79 - Ousmane Diakite for Mowatt
