A last-gasp penalty from Jay Rodriguez cancelled out a James McClean own-goal as we rounded off 2017 with a frustrating draw against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.
In a game of few chances, Alexandre Lacazette and Alex Iwobi came closest to making the breakthrough for us, but there seemed to be no way through against a resolute home side.
But seven minutes from the end, Alexis was fouled right on the edge of the area and stepped up himself to send a low shot – via a significant deflection – into the bottom corner.
But right at the end, former Gunner Kieran Gibbs flicked the ball into Calum Chambers’ hand in the area and a spot kick, which Rodriguez converted as both teams had to settle for a share of the spoils.
