ALBION’s under-23s drew 2-2 in a Premier League Cup game with Burnley on a bitter night at Keys Park.
First-team players Conor Townsend, Bakary Sako, Tyrone Mears, Sam Field and Oliver Burke joined up with Jamie Smith’s side for the fixture as they looked to get minutes under their belt ahead of a busy December period.
In an end-to-end start, Burnley’s Dan Agyei had a header cleared off the line before Jonathan Leko saw his powerful effort palmed away down the other end.
But just as Albion were starting to gain control of the game it was the Clarets who found an opening goal, Marley Blair hitting a stunning curler into the top corner which Alex Palmer could do nothing about.
