It wasn’t the easiest game to watch but West Brom have kept alive their hopes of Premier League survival, for a few hours anyway.
A dramatic late winner from West Brom midfielder Jake Livermore gave the Baggies a fighting chance against all odds.
A scrappy tap-in lifted West Brom off the foot of the table and leaves them two points away from safety, with one game left.
Survival might be out of their hands but they are in a much healthier position than supporters would have feared before caretaker manager Darren Moore took over at the Hawthorns.
Those who were watching the game struggled to enjoy it, however, because of a controversial kit clash between the teams.
West Brom were kitted out in their navy and white stripes, with white shorts, while the visitors sported their home strip which consists of a white shirt and navy shorts.
Even referee Mike Jones was put off by the similarity between the kits and seemingly asked Spurs to change to a different strip but neither of the London side’s alternative options would have been ideal either.
It made for a tough viewing experience but Baggies fans won’t be all that bothered by it, having added a much-needed three points to their tally.
Spurs-West Brom is a terrible kit clash

There’s a kit clash at the Hawthorns, the Spurs shorts are the same colour as the back of WBA shirts, I wonder what they’ll do about it #WBAvSpurs

Spurs asked to change shirts by the ref but the kit man only brought the home kit 🤦♂️

West Brom players are apparently complaining that Spurs' white kits are bugging them. I guess that kind of makes sense? It's a bit of a clash.

Referee notices that WBA & Spurs have a kit clash. Funny he notices it after the game starts, not in the warm up. 😐🙄

Spurs will be forced to change to their away kits because Referee Mike Jones says he is confused they all nearly look the same!
