If this game is to prove a microcosm of their season, Leeds should be mightily encouraged. The Championship’s top two sides maintained their nine-point lead over the chasing pack with this thrilling draw and if the Yorkshire club, who have fallen away so badly in the second half of the past three seasons, can prove as resilient between now and May as they did in recovering after half-time here, then their return to the Premier League will be all but assured.Semi Ajayi gave West Brom the lead inside 80 seconds and Slaven Bilic’s side looked the more penetrative and organised in the first half but the Nigeria defender was credited with an own goal when deflecting in Patrick Bamford’s header early in the second half.
