It was a fifth draw in a row against the Lions after an own goal from Millwall full-back Joe Bryan cancelled out Jake Cooper's opener inside 25 minutes. Baggies keeper Joe Wildsmith made a string of late saves to preserve the point.

Albion correspondent Lewis Cox rates the performances in south east London.

Joe Wildsmith

Albion's standout performer, which says something about the way the second half played out. Could do nothing about Cooper goal but excelled after the break to make several stops, some routine but a couple - including a reaction stop from a spillage - were top. 

Busy 8

Darnell Furlong

Given a rough time by the lively Azeez who was a test. Was encouraged forward and did so well with the crucial low cross turned in by Bryan for the own goal.

Tested 6

Semi Ajayi

A first start since late October after just 45 minutes for the under-21s and after a slow start in which he didn't clear for opening goal he grew into contest and responded with solid defending.

Return 7

Torbjorn Heggem

Routine enough display by the Norwegian. Opening goal was not his side. Otherwise part of back four who defended well late on. Understandably dipped slightly below high levels set. Moved to left-back late on.
