The Story in 60 Seconds

West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison faces a selection dilemma after striker Aune Heggebo produced three goal contributions in three consecutive substitute appearances. The £4.6m forward came off the bench to score an equalizer in West Brom's recent 1-1 draw at Preston North End, following vital impacts against Wrexham and Blackburn Rovers.
