Half-Time Report: Goalless between West Bromwich Albion, Southampton

West Brom, Saints level at the break

West Bromwich Albion and Southampton are level in their Premier League match this afternoon.

Southampton began the game in good spirits and almost forced the opening goal when Jonas Olsson headed wide of his own post from an Adam Lallana cross.

James Ward-Prowse's cross was then spilled by Ben Foster, but the hosts managed to clear.

West Brom began to press forward and James Morrison tested Artur Boruc with a speculative effort that was pushed behind by the Saints goalkeeper.

A scramble in the Albion box almost produced the opening goal for Southampton, but Rickie Lambert was unable to get his shot away.

Adam Lallana had the ball in the net after 33 minutes as he nodded home Lambert's header, but he was called offside.

The away side continued to push forward and Luke Shaw had his long-range shot tipped wide by Foster.
