West Brom were sublime against Newcastle United in the latter half of the tie, as they clawed back two goals late on, albeit still losing 3-2, and a lot of what was good for the Baggies came from the impressive homegrown midfield man Rekeem Harper.

Ultimately, the news from the end of the clash is that the Baggies bowed out of the FA Cup and now all they have to play for is promotion from the Championship to the Premier League. Whatever happens, though it seems the fans will be keen to see more from Harper.
The midfielder certainly impressed in his performance in the domestic cup, and whilst it won’t be easy for him to step up and continue to maintain that level in the Championship, the fans certainly want to see and certainly impressed with what they’ve seen from Harper so far.
