Aune Heggebo should be ashamed, Ryan Mason on brink – West Brom player ratings vs Leicester City
West Brom were unable to rely on Aune Heggebo against Leicester City in the Championship on Monday.
Ryan Mason will leave the King Power Stadium disappointed after the Baggies were potentially denied a penalty in the first half after Hamza Choudhury pushed the Norway striker.
Josh Griffiths should’ve arguably done better to stop Jordan Ayew’s goal, but Karlan Grant managed to equalise for the visitors at the half-hour mark.
Abdul Fatawu put a dagger in The Hawthorns faithful’s hearts in the 94th minute with a brilliant strike that sealed a 2-1 win for Marti Cifuentes’ team.
Aune Heggebo struggles for West Brom at King Power Stadium
Heggebo has been in sublime form for West Brom in recent weeks, having scored eight league goals this season.
The Norway international started his 11th consecutive game for the Baggies in East Midlands, but the Leicester defence had him under control.
Heggebo had an opportunity to score the Albion’s second after the break, but the centre-forward’s shot was straight at Jakub Stolarczyk.

| Championship | 10 | 4 | 1 |
Josh Maja replaced the Norwegian ace in the 72nd minute and arguably did more, with one of his headers almost giving the West Midlands club the lead.
Ryan Mason staring sack at The Hawthorns
Mason seems to be on the brink of getting sacked at West Brom, with the English manager now suffering 10 away losses in a row.
The English manager had an encouraging start to the season at The Hawthorns, but things have gone downhill since the start of September.
With Bilkul Football and fans in B71 undoubtedly hoping for a play-offs spot in the Championship, something now needs to give at the Black Country outfit.
The Albion are 18th in the league table, closer to the relegation zone than sixth-place Watford, and the American owners can’t let it continue getting worse.
