Albion were awarded a spot-kick on 35 minutes when Murray went down under a clumsy James Tarkowski challenge.

However, he skied the penalty today into the fans in the North Stand and explaining what happened afterwards said: “I was meant to go left and just felt my standing foot give way a bit and fired it over the top.”
