Chelsea sub George gets in down the left of the box and has options in the middle, but he goes for it himself and smashes it into the away end. Poor decision making, but good for us.

BIG PENALTY SHOUT FOR ALBION
That's not just a big shout, you could say that's a stonewall penalty. Joao Pedro gets round Gusto and the Chelsea defender clearly pulls him back. The referee gives a goal kick.
74'
Substitution
Double Albion change. Joao Pedro and Yasin Ayari replace Carlos Baleba and Georginio.
71'
SANCHEZ SPILLS MITOMA'S VOLLEY
Lamptey's corner is cleared to the edge of the box and Mitoma hits it on the volley. The connection isn't too clean and it's straight into the arms of Sanchez, he then spills it, but is first to the loose ball with Welbeck looking to steal in.
69'
Yellow Card
Moises Caicedo is booked for hacking down Lamptey after the Ghana international played a lovely one-two with Welbeck.
68'
Substitution
Diego Gomez comes on for Jack Hinshelwood.

FERNANDEZ FIRES OVER
That's a good opportunity for the Chelsea skipper as he's afforded a yard of space in the box, but he smashes it well over.
What a player.
58'
BRILLIANT FINISH FROM MITOMA TO TAKE THE LEAD!!!!
Georginio flicks the ball to Mitoma who somehow controls it with his face and then lobs the onrushing Sanchez!!!
55'
CAICEDO ESCAPES A BOOKING
Georginio lobs the ball over Caicedo's head which draws cheers from the home fans before passing it on as Albion burst forward. Caicedo then clearly takes out Georginio under referee Jarred Gillett's nose who gives the advantage, but as soon as the ball goes out of play he should book the player, but he doesn't.
46'
Substitution
Lewis Dunk is replaced by Adam Webster, as Chelsea get this second half underway.

THAT'S IT - ALBION ARE THROUGH!
What a response to last week's 7-0 defeat. A performance full of character and skill from Fabian Hurzeler's team topped off by two great goals - Georgie's powerful header and a sumptious piece of skill by Kaoru!
45'+3'
Half-Time
It's all square going in at the break.
43'
PLAY STOPPED AGAIN FOR DUNK
He's able to play on after receiving treatment, but Adam Webster is getting read to come on. Lewis might try and play until half-time.
Georginio gets Albion back on level terms.
35'
PLAY STOPPED FOR LEWIS DUNK
Lewis Dunk sprays a pass out to the right and he holds his side in discomfort. Play is stopped, but he doesn't want treatment and play resumes. Will keep an eye on that.
27'
Yellow Card
Joel Veltman goes into the referee's book for a lunging challenge on Cucurella. The former Albion man is fine and let's just say he's not getting a warm reception from the North Stand.
20'
Yellow Card
Georginio goes into the book for taking out Caicedo. There was a foul 25 yards from the Chelsea goal on Tariq Lamptey just before that. Frustrating.
14'
Yellow Card
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall goes into the book for a lunging challenge on Kaoru Mitoma.

GOOOOAAALLLLLL!!!
GEORGINIO!!!!
Joel Veltman swings a lovely first time cross in from the right and finds the head of Georginio 12 yards out and he guides it perfectly into the bottom left corner! 1-1 at the Amex!!!2

PALMER PUTS CHELSEA IN FRONT
That's not a nice one for Verbruggen as he spills Palmer's cross into the back of his own net.
