West Bromwich Albion vs. Aston Villa
Minute Commentary
90' FT: WEST BROM 2 ASTON VILLA 2
Aston Villa spurn the chance to collect a morale-boosting away win as West Brom hit back from two goals down to snatch a point in an entertaining West Midlands derby. The visitors were totally in control of the first half from the moment Christian Benteke fired them in front with a rasping right-foot shot from long range on 12 minutes. They added a second just after the half-hour as a sweeping move down the right ended up with Charles N'Zogbia setting up Gabriel Agbonlahor, who cut inside before finding the net with a neat finish. But West Brom were transformed in the second half and pulled one back four minutes after the restart courtesy of Chris Brunt's curling strike. Peter Odemwingie hooked home the leveller seven minutes from time from a right-wing corner after Gareth McAuley had won the initial header.
90' WEST BROM SUBSTITUTION
West Brom's final change sees Chris Brunt replaced by George Thorne. Brunt has a hamstring niggle.
90' VILLA HANGING ON
Lukaku goes on a terrific run down the left before unleashing a driven cross that is cleared away by Lowton. Villa are hanging on here.
90' HEADER OVER THE BAR
Brunt crosses from the left, but Odemwingie heads over from six yards.
88' WIDE FROM LUKAKU
West Brom counter from a Villa corner, but Lukaku shoots wide under pressure from a desperate Villa defender.
85' GOAL DETAILS
It's a goal from a set-piece by the Baggies. McAuley shrugged off the attentions of his marker at a right-wing corner to win the initial header and Odemwingie was given too much time and space to hook the ball home.
84' GOAL: WEST BROM 2 ASTON VILLA 2
Peter Odemwingie levels for West Brom.
82' WEST BROM SUBSTITUTION
Markus Rosenberg replaces Graeme Dorrans for West Brom.
81' ANOTHER CHANCE GOES BEGGING
Thomas picks out Odemwingie in space with a cross from the left, but the Nigerian's first touch is poor, meaning he has to rush his finish and it ends up over the stand.
79' JUST WIDE FROM ODEMWINGIE
Odemwingie cuts in from the right flank and tries his luck from outside the box. The effort is scuffed but still only just goes wide of the far upright with Guzan scrambling across his goal.
77' TOO HIGH FROM HOLMAN
Benteke shows good skill to bring down an aerial ball and find Holman with a backheel. The effort from 25 yards by the Australian is well over the bar.
73' INJURY SAVE FOR VILLA
Agbonlahor goes to ground holding the back of his right knee, but luckily for Villa is able to continue as they have used all three substitutes. Brunt shoots wide. Well wide.
70' PENALTY CLAIMS
Jones goes down in the box looking for a penalty, but he ran straight into the back of Ciaran Clark.
69' CHANCE WASTED BY ODEMWINGIE
Odemwingie chases a long ball from the back and rounds Guzan, but is off balance as he takes his shot and sees it end up over the crossbar with an open goal gaping.
67' VILLA SUBSTITUTION
Brett Holman takes the place of Charles N'Zogbia for Aston Villa.
66' OFF THE LINE
Dorrans cuts back on to his left foot and sees a vicious drive deflect off Lowton a yard wide of the post. McAuley's header from the corner is cleared off the line by Joe Bennett and Morrison then shoots over. The pressure is building.
63' WEST BROM BOOKING
Another cynical challenge and another yellow card. A bodycheck from Dorrans on Agbonlahor earns him a caution.
62' VILLA BOOKING
Matthew Lowton is booked for preventing West Brom from taking a free-kick quickly. That was just daft from the Villa man.
60' AGBONLAHOR THREATENS AGAIN
Villa break and Agbonlahor uses his pace to round Ridgewell before firing a shot that is central and allows Foster to make a good save. Had that been aimed for the far corner it would have been 3-1.
59' V ILLA BOOKING
Lichaj is cautioned after a cynical trip on Thomas.
57' DANGEROUS CROSS FROM THOMAS
Thomas it totally committed to the tackle, getting the better of Lowton. He fizzes a cross in from the left, but Lukaku fails to get meaningful contact on the ball.
55' ATTACK THE ONLY OPTION
Villa are going to need another goal here, they can't expect to keep out West Brom for another 35 minutes, they simply are not good enough at the back. Agbonlahor, in the meantime, skies a shot over the bar.
53' VILLA SUBSTITUTION
Barry Bannan comes on for Villa, replacing Fabian Delph.
51' GOAL DETAILS
It's a fabulous team goal from the Baggies. Odemwingie played the ball into Lukaku, he held it up before teeing up Brunt, who curled a quite magnificent left-foot shot into the corner.
50' GOAL: WEST BROM 1 VILLA 2
Chris Brunt pulls one back for the home side.
49' N'ZOGBIA IMPRESSING
Charles N'Zogbia looked like the Charles N'Zogbia of old in that first half. It's a shame for Villa that the flashes of brilliance from the former Newcastle and Wigan man are few and far between these days, because he's some footballer when he wants to be.
47' ALL TO PLAY FOR
Let's get one thing straight here, this match is far from over. There were signs of life from West Brom at the end of the first half and you fancy if they were to get an early goal after the restart they could quite easily turn this game on its head.
46' HERE WE GO AGAIN
Villa kick off the second half.
45' HT: WEST BROM 0 ASTON VILLA 2
Aston Villa have a deserved lead at the break thanks to a spectacular effort from Christian Benteke and a second from Gabriel Agbonlahor. The big Belgian Benteke turned his man on the edge of the box before lashing a magnificent angled drive beyond Ben Foster with 16 minutes gone. His strike partner added a second just after the half hour with a neat finish following a fine passing move. It has been a heated Midlands derby at times, but as far as the football goes only one side has been playing so far and they are the men in claret and blue.
45' CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS
N'Zogbia produces two moments of trickery before trying to walk the ball into the goal rather than shoot from a good position. At the other end, Brunt shoots straight at Guzan.
45' WEST BROM BOOKING
Lukaku is booked for a nasty tackle on N'Zogbia that could easily have been a red card on another day.
44' CLOSE TO A THIRD
Villa are so close to adding a third, with a superb break down the right by Lichaj ending with Foster making a magnificent save to deny N'Zogbia at close quarters.
43' GOOD TRY FROM DORRANS
Morrison and Odemwingie link up superbly before finding Dorrans, who cuts across the ball with a vicious strike that slices wide of the right-hand upright.
40' DORRANS OFF TARGET
West Brom are plugging away, but without purpose at the moment. Dorrans takes a shot from distance, but his effort worries the fans behind Guzan's goal rather than the Villa goalkeeper.
37' WEST BROM SUBSTITUTION
Bad news for West Brom. Yacob is injured again and has to go off. Jerome Thomas, who has been on loan at Leeds, comes on in his place.
35' BAGGIES FIGHT BACK
The Baggies mount an immediate response, with Dorrans forcing Guzan into a save and Morrison blasting well over.
33' GOAL DETAILS
A sweeping move down the Villa right ended up with Agbonlahor collecting the ball in the inside-right channel. A neat flick saw him lose his man and he advanced before sliding the ball past Foster, who went to ground early trying to guess where the shot was going.
32' GOAL: WEST BROM 0 ASTON VILLA 2
Gabriel Agbonlahor doubles Villa's lead.
29' GOOD CHANCE WASTED
Villa win a corner on the left. Vlaar rises well but the ball glances off his head and goes wide. That was a good chance.
28' ESCAPE FOR VILLA
Worryingly for Villa, they leave Morrison in acres of space around 25 yards from goal. The midfielder looks for the wrong option, trying to find the perfect pass rather than having a pop at goal.
26' FULL OF CONFIDENCE
Paul Lambert said before the match that his side were going for it today. He was not joking, they do not look like a bunch of strugglers at the moment. Fabian Delph, meanwhile, is trying to run off an injury at present.
23' BOOKING APIECE
Agbonlahor wrongly claims a handball against Olsson, which results in several of the players squaring up to each other. Both the original aggressors are booked and the two captains are called over by Mr Probert and spoken to.
20' YACOB NEEDS TREATMENT
Yacob is down after being caught in a Benteke and N'Zogbia sandwich. He appears to have a shoulder problem.
18' SHOT ON TARGET BY BRUNT
Villa fail to clear their lines from a right-wing corner, but the ball just won't drop to Brunt and his hooked finish lacks the venom to trouble Guzan.
15' GROUND TO MAKE UP
West Brom find themselves down in ninth after today's earlier results. Villa could have done without Reading going to Newcastle and coming away with all three points.
14' GOAL DETAILS
What a goal from Benteke! He collected the ball on the left edge of the box and unleashed a rasping drive into the opposite corner.
12' GOAL: WEST BROM 0 VILLA 1
Christian Benteke scores a stunner for Villa!
8' VILLA SUBSTITUTION
Baker has pulled his hamstring and has to leave the pitch. Eric Lichaj is on in his place.
2' EARLY VILLA THREAT
Agbonlahor makes inroads down the left, but his cross is driven, rather than aimed at anyone in particular.
5' IN MEMORY OF THE TANK
There was a minute's applause before the game for West Brom legend Derek “The Tank” Kevan, who died recently.
4' SHOT DEFLECTED WIDE
Odemwingie makes ground down the right and shrugs off the attentions of Baker, who goes to ground. The cross is aimed for Lukaku and his shot is deflected wide for a corner.
0' THE TEAMS
West Brom: Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Morrison, Dorrans, Yacob, Brunt, Lukaku, Odemwingie. Subs: Myhill, Popov, Rosenberg, Thomas, Thorne, Dawson, Tamas.

0' TEAM NEWS
Claudio Yacob and Peter Odemwingie come into the West Brom side for George Thorne and Jerome Thoimas. Villa make three changes, with the most notable seeing the return of Ron Vlaar in the heart of their defence.
0' PREVIEW
Villa boss Paul Lambert has seen it all over the past few weeks. Three defeats in seven days over Christmas in which his side shipped 15 goals. A humiliating Capital One Cup semi-final reverse at the hands of League Two Bradford and damaging home defeats to fellow relegation rivals Wigan and Southampton. The immediate fate of the Scot could well depend on how his charges fare over the coming seven days. First up on Saturday is the small matter of this West Midlands derby at The Hawthorns in the Premier League. This tricky trip is followed by the return with Bradford City at Villa Park on Tuesday with a place at Wembley still up for grabs and the week is rounded off with an FA Cup trip to a place few people would spend their Friday nights by choice: Millwall. West Brom have exceeded everybody's expectations under new manager Steve Clarke, but they are in danger of undoing all their good work. Last weekend they led Reading by two goals with only eight minutes to go but somehow contrived to take nothing from the game. A straightforward win today will be top of the agenda. Today's game kicks off at 1730GMT, so join us around 30 minutes beforehand when we should have the confirmed team news, which will be followed by a match commentary.
0' PLAYERS TO WATCH
Romelu Lukaku has three goals in his last two Premier League outings for West Brom, though on both occasions his side failed to collect a point. The former Anderlecht striker now has nine for the season and is likely to be preferred to Shane Long today despite his strike partner's return to fitness. Lukaku has looked more and more impressive in recent weeks and it must have been a huge relief to Steve Clarke when Chelsea bought Demba Ba, meaning there was no prospect of Lukaku being recalled to Stamford Bridge prematurely from his season-long loan. West Brom will feel a lot more confident of achieving victory today if they have Claudio Yacob back in their line-up after more than a month out with injury. They have a win percentage of 57 per cent in all competitions with the defensive midfielder in their line-up this season, and one of only 25 per cent without him. Villa's leading scorer is Christian Benteke, who has six goals in the Premier League. The Belgium has scored in 11 different matches for his country, former club Genk and Villa since the start of the season and in all of those matches his side has managed at least a draw. The visitors need him to find the target today.
0' HEAD TO HEAD
Villa have the better head-to-head record in league meetings between the sides with 63 wins to 45 by West Brom and 29 games being drawn. At the Hawthorns, the Baggies have 29 wins to 21 by Villa, with a further 18 meetings ending up all square. The corresponding match last season finished in a goalless draw. The two sides also could not be separated in this season's earlier meeting. Shane Long gave West Brom the lead early in the second half at Villa Park, only for Darren Bent to level ten minutes from time. West Brom have won just one of their last eight home league meetings with Villa.
0' FORM GUIDE
West Brom start the weekend in seventh place, with 33 points from 22 games, one point behind Arsenal. Villa sit in 18th place, with 19 points, level with Wigan, who are above them on goal difference. West Brom have lost their last three, including last weekend where they led Reading by two goals with eight minutes remaining and somehow managed to lose 3-2. They have lost six of their last nine, but only the two Manchester clubs have recorded more than their seven home wins. Villa have lost four of their last five in the league and won just one of their last seven. They lost to Southampton at home last time out, as damaging a defeat as the one that preceded it, the Capital One Cup semi-final humiliation at Bradford. The Villans have conceded 26 goals away from home, joint top along with Southampton.
0' EARLY TEAM NEWS
West Brom will give late fitness tests to midfielder Claudio Yacob (hamstring) and strikers Shane Long (dead leg) and Marc-Antoine Fortune (hamstring). Steven Reid will not feature as a precaution having received a kick to the leg he broke against Arsenal last month. Villa could have captain Ron Vlaar back with the Dutchman now recovered from the calf injury he suffered nearly two months ago. Joe Bennett is available after flu, but Darren Bent (knee) is doubtful. Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd (both foot) remain out.
0' MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Taking charge of today's game is Lee Probert, who was appointed to the Select Group Referees List in 2007. In terms of cards-per-game the Gloucestershire official was one of the most lenient in the top flight last season, producing just 44 yellow cards and four red cards in 22 matches. Probert has refereed 14 Premier League games this season, administering 40 cautions and dismissing one player, Fulham's Brede Hangeland, in the match with Sunderland at Craven Cottage. Probert's assistants today are Ron Ganfield and Andy Halliday, while Lee Mason is the fourth official.
