Substitute Carlos Vela helped West Brom get out of the drop zone by scoring a vital late goal against Stoke. After a forgettable first half Rory Delap profited from some poor West Brom defending to head Stoke in front from a Jermaine Pennant corner.
But Vela benefited from a close offside decision to level from six yards only five minutes after he had come on.
The Mexican striker almost snatched a winner in injury time but was denied at pint-blank range by Asmir Begovic.
