'If you go down to 10 men, it's going to be very hard'

West Brom boss Ryan Mason urged his team to learn the lesson from Jayson Molumby's dismissal as they let a two-goal lead slip in their 3-2 defeat by Championship leaders Coventry City.

Molumby received his second yellow card of the game just four minutes into the second half at the CBS Arena after a brace by Aune Heggebo had put them on top.

"It was a lack of discipline in that moment (by Jayson), it's affected the result and it's something we need to learn from as a group," Mason told BBC WM Sport.

"We played a really good first half, created some excellent moments, showed good personality and quality as well, and scored two really good goals

"But at this level - and I think at any level - if you go down to 10 men then it's going to be very hard.

"We weren't able to get through that initial period after we went down to 10 men, the crowd were up, they were able to get some momentum and were getting in our box a lot.

"We stayed in the game and gave ourselves a chance to get something out of it but didn't really create anything from some of the set plays that we had.

The Baggies are next in action when they host Birmingham City in a big derby clash on Wednesday evening.
