Tensions boiled in the mini Black Country Derby on Friday night as West Brom under-23s drew 1-1 at Wolves.

Chem Campbell opened the scoring for the home side at Molineux but Kenneth Zohore scored in the 65th-minute to level the scores.

The goals ended there but a flurry of cards were issued in the last 20 minutes, including a red card for Wolves goalscorer Campbell.

BirminghamLive journalist Joe Chapman was in attendance at Molineux and shared what happened via his personal Twitter profile, with Kevin Joshua, signed earlier this year [WBA official website], involved.

Chapman wrote: “Wolves down to ten, Campbell sent off for his part in an altercation with Joshua.”

Feisty

In total, there were six cards issued at Molineux, all of which came in the second half.

There were three apiece for the two sides, but the only red card was handed to the home side as Campbell let his temper get the best of him.

Joshua was also booked for his role in the incident, and it was certainly a game that neither team was taking lightly.

For West Brom it was a slight disappointment as it ensured a second successive game without a win, meaning they are now four points behind Premier League 2 [Division 2] leaders Fulham, who have a game in hand on Albion.

But it was another important outing for the side who will benefit from the passionate nature of a derby game, irrespective of what level it is at.

Zohore also gained further game time as he eyes a recall to Valerien Ismael’s senior side.

In other West Brom news, Valerien Ismael has used an Albion player to propose this major Championship change, in contrast to Burnley boss Sean Dyche.
