FIRST HALF: against run of play travellers go ahead from a spot kick inside the first fifteen minutes.
Poor decisions from hosts amounted to still being behind towards the interval as the away outfit used gamesmanship to cause delay.
Suddenly two quality attempts were quickly converted by locals.
SECOND HALF: probes by hosts come to nothing after turnaround.
Visitors level the score with twenty mins left but are reduced to ten at seven mins to the ninety.
IN THE END: it was all square but Albion will rue failure to win from an inconsistent display.
