DAVID STOCKDALE 9

Game over if he had not saved Vibe's penalty, his third of the year. Spot-kicks struck more or less down the middle with power usually go in, so it was some effort to divert it over the bar.

BRUNO 6

The skipper was steadier after Van La Parra have him such a difficult time at Huddersfield but still some way below his best. Booked during the frantic finale.

SHANE DUFFY 7

Difficult for the normally dominant Irishman without regular partner Lewis Dunk missing through suspension. Header brought Albion level and helped erase defeat on his home debut in September.

UWE HUENEMEIER 5

Unexpected first league appearance for the injury-hit German for 14 months. Lack of ultra-competitive game time was exposed, especially with the challenge which gave away the penalty.

SEB POCOGNOLI 6

Suffered in the first half, when he received little assistance from Skalak. Looked much more at ease with March ahead of him after the break.

ANTHONY KNOCKAERT 8

A hugely frustrating afternoon suddenly came good when he played a big part in all three goals. Carried the ball a long way for the first, then delivered two fine crosses.

OLLIE NORWOOD 5

Part of a midfield which was too passive in the first half. Albion stuck with him during the second period and the increase in tempo helped him.

STEVE SIDWELL 6

Failed to make an impact in the first half as Brentford’s short-passers did their thing. Got more into it in the second period without being influential. Booked for an altercation with McEachran.

JIRI SKALAK 5

A pinpoint cross for the head of Murphy was his one highlight in a disappointing 45 minutes against a very attack-minded right-back in Clarke. Replaced at the interval.

JAMIE MURPHY 6

Asked to operate off the frontman and, while imprecise in his finishing, at least looked he could trouble the home back-line. Taken off in the late push.

GLENN MURRAY 6

A frustrating afternoon against the home pair. Would have loved to have been out there as the crosses started flying in late on.

SOLLY MARCH 9

Changed the mood, changed the dynamic of the game and, ultimately, played a huge part in changing the result. Superb goal and a constant threat.

CHUBA AKPOM

Made a nuisance of himself and provided a cross which should have led to a goal.

TOMER HEMED

Missed from point blank range but kept going and enjoyed his late point-saver.
