EVERTON AND WEST Brom played out a 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns in the Premier League this evening.

Kevin Mirallas put the visitors in front on 41 minutes when a long ball from Sylvain Distin was flicked on by Romelu Lukaku before his fellow Belgian beat Diego Lugano for pace and slotted home past Ben Foster.

In the 75th minute, however, the Baggies equalised through Uruguayan defender Lugano, who powered in a header at the front post after good work from James Morrison.

Irish pair Seamus Coleman and James McCarthy started for the visitors with new signing Aiden McGeady coming off the bench, while former Ireland international Steven Reid featured in Pepe Mel’s first starting XI.

However, Coleman was forced off after picking up an injury midway through the second half. The game finished 1-1.
