Pearson Left Stunned

Leading 2-1 inside the final minute Albion ended up with only a share of the spoils after substitute Aki Riihilahti equalised for ten man Palace in injury time.

"At the moment it feels like two points lost," Pearson said after the 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns.

"But it is important that we stay positive because of the situation we are in and we cannot afford to give up the ghost we have got another massive game coming up this weekend at Norwich City.

"At 1-0 down it looked like we would not get anything from the game. Before they scored I felt that we were in control of the game.

"But after conceding the goal it was an uphill task for us and I think that everyone in the ground was feeling anxious.

"We showed great character to come back and take the lead but to give away another goal as late as we did is very disappointing.

"But I don't want to say too much about that we have to analyse it with the players. What is important is that believe that we can get three points on Saturday.
