West Brom frustrate Chelsea

James McClean's late equaliser earned West Brom a share of the points as they refused to accept defeat at Chelsea.

The Blues went ahead when Cesar Azpilicueta turned in fellow full-back Branislav Ivanovic's low cross.

Craig Gardner's skimming low shot levelled, but it seemed Chelsea had done enough when Gareth McAuley prodded Willian's low cross into his own net.

But when the home defence failed to clear McClean made them pay with a pinpoint low shot into the corner.

The Republic of Ireland international's leveller was the final twist in a often ill-tempered game with Chelsea striker Diego Costa at the centre of several flashpoints, including a confrontation with several West Brom players after the final whistle.
