Bournemouth 2-2 West Bromwich Albion: Point each for new bosses Parker and Ismael

West Bromwich Albion twice came from behind on the opening night of the Championship season as Valerien Ismael's Baggies drew with Scott Parker's Bournemouth.

A share of the spoils for both bosses in their first game in charge of their respective new clubs was a fair outcome to a fast-paced, entertaining encounter.

Bournemouth led early on through summer signing Emiliano Marcondes before Baggies defender Dara O'Shea headed in a first-half leveller.

Philip Billing restored the Cherries' lead after the break, only for Callum Robinson, who had earlier had a first-half goal ruled out, to come up with a second Albion equaliser.
