Swift penalty earns Baggies a point at the Den

The visitors were hoping to put pressure on Southampton above them in the table but had to come from behind at the Den.

It was from a goal of their own making when Cedric Kipre's header back towards his goalkeeper only served to let Duncan Watmore in to finish past Alex Palmer and score his second of the season.

Besides defeat to Leeds United last time out, Millwall have been in much better form as of late and are now looking to move closer to the play-offs after having flirted with the relegation zone earlier in the year.

They could have taken more from this game especially with Michael Obafemi missing a golden chance after more poor defending from the Baggies saw him through on goal. The forward's attempt was straight at Palmer though.

West Brom were much improved after the break though and eventually equalised from the penalty spot.

Grady Diangana was causing problems in the Millwall penalty area before he was brought down with substitute John Swift, who had been on the pitch for just a matter of minutes, cool as ever from the spot to convert in the 66th minute.

Neither side could find a late winner with the points being shared between the two. Millwall will no doubt be happy with another point and West Brom will be glad to have got something out of a game in which they committed far too many defensive errors.
