It was only Allardyce's second match in charge of West Brom since taking over, for his first managerial job in 18 months, with the team in the relegation zone. It wasn't unusual to see West Brom have 10 men behind the ball, the next-to-last visitors finishing the match having had just 22 percent possession. Wolves conceded after just 57 seconds, when Tanguy Ndombele smashed a low shot from 20 meters past Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio. SOUCEK RESCUES HAMMERSBrighton were eight minutes away from beating West Ham and pulling four points clear of the bottom three. Then, Tomas Soucek popped up to head in his third goal in five matches and earn West Ham a 2-2 draw at the Olympic Stadium.
