SAVING A POINT: Bobby De Cordova-Reid's acrobatics forced an injury-time equaliser at the Hawthorns last night

(ANNA GOWTHORPE/SHUTTERSTOCK (IS5500176AO))

With time ticking at the Haw thorns and City staring at defeat, substitute Bobby De Cordova-Reid acrobatically met a deep cross, with his effort diverted in by the unfortunate Phillips.

City looked like lacking the cre ativity to bounce back from Sam uel Iling-Junior's fine solo effort early on, but their pressure told and their injury-time goal grabbed them a point.

For the first time in his City ten ure, Cifuentes opted to name an unchanged 11, resisting fan calls for Jeremy Monga and Julian Car ranza to replace Stephy Mavididi and Jordan Ayew.
