Albion teenager Yasin Ayari found a bizarre way to score his first goal in English football.
The Swedish midfielder put Coventry City, where is on loan, ahead at home to Huddersfield in the Championship.

But he knew little about it until the ball was bouncing gently towards the net.
Ellis Simms cut inside and saw his rasping drive tipped on to the bar by goalkeeper Lee Nicholls.
Ayari was, to his credit, following up, looking for a rebound.
The ball cannoned back off the woodwork, hit him and was heading towards the net by the time he realised what had happened.
Huddersfield defenders appealed in vain for offside – and it looked a close call.
The visitors forced a 1-1 draw by scoring in the final seconds of stoppage time.
