Darren Moore successfully ended the eight-game losing streak bequeathed to him by West Brom predecessor Alan Pardew, but a 1-1 draw with Swansea appeared to represent another nail in the club's Premier League coffin.
For the 21 minutes between Jay Rodriguez's poached opener and Tammy Abraham's headed equaliser it seemed Moore might be on course for a fairytale start to life in the Hawthorns dugout.
Rodriguez's point-blank finish early in the second half got the home fans singing, slowly erasing the worst memories of Pardew's ill-fated reign, but the bonhomie was punctured when Jake Livermore allowed Abraham to climb above him and nod in Sam Clucas' corner.
