THE Baggies were cruising for the first 70 minutes against Cardiff City at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

First-half goals from the impressive Matheus Pereira and Grady Diangana gave the home side a commanding lead before Charlie Austin netted his first league goal for Albion on 71 minutes. Game over? Not a chance.

The visitors threw caution to the wind and substitute Danny Ward netted twice in 11 minutes to give the visitors hope while the home crowd sat biting their nails.
