West Bromwich Albion secured a stoppage-time goal to rescue a 2-2 draw in Stratford.

Manager wars, Leicester’s encore, and some no-nonsense yellow card laws So here it is – the long-awaited new series of Pep versus José. Neutrals are hoping for a classic rerun of the meltdowns that made the Barcelona/Real Madrid years so special – but early signs are that both managers are making an effort to coexist.
