The Baggies had taken the lead through Matty Phillips on his return from injury before Hal Robson-Kanu restored their lead after Macauley Bonne bagged an equaliser as the Welshman curled home an excellent effort nine minutes from time.

Several of the Hawthorns faithful have taken to Twitter to talk up the 30-year-old.

One supporter claimed he deserved a 20-year contract extension after his finish while another believes Robson-Kanu is ten times the player of Charlie Austin, who has scored just the one goal all season.

Others labelled him ‘special’ and ‘underrated’ with one further fan going as far as saying West Brom look far better with him in the attack.

Here’s the best of the reaction:
