The Albion keeper then might have done better when Ward scored Huddersfield's second with a low finish which looked to have secured victory.

The comeback started when Sorba Thomas was penalised as he attempted to clear on the edge of the box, although contact with Mowatt appeared to be minimal, and Grant stuck away the penalty.

Then almost straight from the restart in Albion's next attack,
