West Bromwich Albion scored twice in the last six minutes to snatch a draw with Championship promotion-chasers Huddersfield Town.
The Terriers looked on course for a comfortable win after two goals from top scorer Danny Ward, the first of them a nightmare for Albion keeper Sam Johnstone.
But Albion got a lifeline from Karlan Grant’s fortuitous 84th-minute penalty and then just a minute later Andy Carroll headed in for a dramatic Baggies equaliser.
Huddersfield still climb back up to second in the Championship table but Bournemouth, who have four games in hand, only have to avoid defeat at home by Derby on Saturday, to go back above them.
