Albion couldn’t quite hang on for all three points but they at least put an end to their run of three successive away defeats by claiming a point from Portman Road. However, only once this century, in 2006/07, have the Baggies earned fewer points on the road at this stage of a second tier season.
Carlos Corberán’s team now have two successive home games starting with Cardiff City on Tuesday evening. The match was originally scheduled for Valentine’s Day before the Southampton match was moved to the Friday evening, and would have been a repeat of the fixture from exactly 20 years ago.
The Bluebirds visited the Hawthorns on 14th February 2004 when Neil Clement headed home a Jason Koumas cross ten minutes into the second half to give the hosts the lead. Alan Lee headed in an equaliser with ten minutes to go but there was still time for Lee Hughes to touch in a Thomas Gaardsøe header for the winner with five minutes to go to keep Gary Megson’s team clear in second place in Division One, five points behind Norwich City and four points ahead of third-placed Wigan Athletic.
