Two goals in the three minutes was enough to see the Foxes fall to their second home defeat of the season, having gone an entire season in league one without losing at home.
Leicester old boy Joey Mattock got the kind of reception he deserved, as he was booed and jeered every time he was near the ball. Credit has to go to Leicester City captain Matt Oakley who was the only player to successfully put young Mattock on the floor.
Leicester made a promising start and were matching high flyer's West Brom in every department of the field, but that was until two quick fire goals just before half-time. Graham Dorran's and the much talked about Gonzalo Jara were the scorers and it left City with an up-hull battle for the second-half.
West Brom played the kind of football at times that suggested they should be a Premiership side once again next season. Having said that in comparison to the likes of Arsenal, if West Brom were to be promoted you could only see them coming straight back down. They are the kind of team that are too good for the Championship, but without a good financial backing will not be good enough for the Premiership.
Leicester's best chances of the match fell to Matty Fryatt and Paul Gallagher, but neither were able to find the back of the net. The addition of power-house Steve Howard in the second-half did give Leicester a new dimension however it was still not enough to claim a point. A late goal from Bruno Berner was all the Blue Army had to cheer about on an otherwise disappointing day for the Foxes.
Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson said: "I thought they were the better side and they passed it very well. We are disappointed we did not reproduce the form of our last game but you have got to give them some credit." http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~1870584,00.html
That defeat sees Leicester now slip into 6th position, but still in the play-offs with a two week break coming up for International duty.
