Blackburn's Ben Brereton Diaz had a well-taken goal correctly ruled out for offsideBlackburn's top scorer Ben Brereton Diaz hobbled off in the second half as they drew at West Brom in Steve Bruce's first home game in charge of Albion.
The hosts had the best chance of a low-key first half, Karlan Grant failing to connect with Darnell Furlong's cross.
Both sides had goals ruled out for offside before 20-goal striker Brereton Diaz came off with a foot injury.
West Brom almost won it late on but sub Tyrhys Dolan acrobatically cleared Adam Reach's header off the line.
