Managers’ reaction
Huddersfield’s Danny Schofield: “Tino Anjorin scored two outstanding goals. He’s a player we know has got a lot of potential. Tino Anjorin has game-winning qualities which is hard to come by in football.
“We will keep working with Tino so he can play 90 minutes. He is young but he will get there. We identified there would be moments (against West Brom) where we could counter. We can be a threat on the counter. It was a well-deserved point. We started the game in an outstanding manner.”
West Brom’s Steve Bruce: “It’s the biggest penalty I’ve ever seen. When decisions are like that, the linesman said he was too far away. Everybody in the crowd knew it was a penalty.
“It’s frustrating however I couldn’t fault the way we were. After a wonderful goal by them and we’ve gifted them a (second) goal we still played the way we wanted to play. It’s starting to take shape a little bit.”
