COMMENTARY
There is nothing quite like a dramatic winner and while it will have broken the hearts of the Queens Park Rangers fans, the West Brom faithful will have been dancing long into the night after their 3-2 victory. With a number of good displays to celebrate, you can understand why Rekeem Harper was picked out by so many of the supporters on Twitter as the game changer. His performance throughout was brilliant but his moment of magic – pulling off an audacious backheel from out wide to cut the QPR defence apart and feed his teammate to produce the goal – was the defining factor for both his overall display as well as the team’s. At 18-years-old the young midfielder looks very comfortable in the Championship and is quite clearly destined for a bright future – be that at the Hawthorns or elsewhere. With his contract coming to an end at the end of the season, this sort of performance, which will have left Darren Moore over the moon alongside the fans in the stands, will earn him a couple more thousand pounds. Here is hoping he pens a deal just for the supporters’ sake – they would be heartbroken to see him leave.
This is Futbol has gathered a selection of the supporters’ tweets:
Outrageous back heel from Harper to Holgate on the overlap who crosses an exquisite ball to Livermore to score a 94th minute winner. This is the Championship, oh sorry I forgot, Champions League was on tonight wasn't it? #WBA https://t.co/BXKZkI8vhk

Rekeem Harper is absolutely sensational. Give the lad whatever he wants, we cannot let him go for peanuts in the summer #WBA
