West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sam Allardyce says Baggies need miracle

West Brom boss Sam Allardyce says the Baggies need a "magic miracle and fairy dust" to stay in the Premier League after drawing the Black Country derby with Wolves.

Allardyce's proud record of never being relegated now requires his side to win all four of their remaining games, beginning with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, and hope for a complete collapse from one of the five teams outside the drop zone that they can still catch.

That combination seems highly unlikely, even with the battling qualities West Brom showed during a game played in torrential rain to earn a point through Mbaye Diagne's header after Fabio Silva's fortunate first-half opener had put Wolves in front.
