KEVIN PHILLIPS served a timely reminder of his quality as West Brom twice came from behind to take Middlesbrough to an FA Cup fifth-round replay.

The former Sunderland striker returned to the northeast to snatch a 2-2 draw for the Championship high-fliers via a deflection off Andrew Taylor.

It was a terrific fightback for the visitors, who conceded a sucker-punch penalty to Aiyegbeni Yakubu on the stroke of half-time, only moments after making it 1-1 through Diomansy Kamara.

Boro had dominated the early stages, Julio Arca putting them in front, but West Brom proved resilient.

The result was soured however by Curtis Davies's late sending off for an untidy challenge on Mark Viduka.
