The Baggies were underwhelming at the DW Stadium and fell behind to a Sam Johnstone own goal, after the goalkeeper unwittingly turned a Sam Morsy long-range drive onto the post into his own net.

They equalised in equally unusual circumstances shortly afterwards, as a backpass collected by Wigan goalkeeper Jamie Jones allowed Charlie Austin to convert from an indirect free-kick in the box.

West Brom move back level on points with Leeds, but trail Marcelo Bielsa's side on goal difference. Both teams, however, are 11 points clear of Fulham in third.
