Sam Johnstone was the hero last night as West Brom managed to hold out for a 1-1 draw against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The Baggies went into the match as the underdogs with no one giving them much of a chance.
A goal on the half hour mark from İlkay Gündoğan made what seemed like an impossible task for Slaven Bilić’s side even more daunting.
It took just 13 minutes for West Brom to draw level though, through a Ruben Dias own goal following a shot towards goal from Semi Ajayi.
Manchester City dominated the game with 26 shots and 77% possession in the 90 minutes, but West Brom weathered the storm with their goalkeeper mainly to thank.
Johnstone was easily the standout performer for his side making 7 saves in total, including a crucial stop in added time to deny Raheem Sterling from close range.
He has played every Premier league game so far this season delivering consistent performances in what has been a tough return to the Premier League for The Baggies.
The West Brom keepers heroics saw them earn their first point at the Etihad since 2005 and end a 13 game losing streak against the Manchester side.
