West Bromwich Albion fans were feeling elated after Hal Robson-Kanu stepped off the bench to score the side’s second goal of their game against Charlton Athletic.

The Wales international had only come on the pitch 10 minutes prior before he put the 10-men 2-1 up with just nine minutes to go.
His goal against the Addicks was the second time this season the Welshman had scored for the club, with his first goal coming in the 1-0 win over Middlesbrough (via Transfermarkt).
However, the elation was short-lived after Charlton equalised thanks to a stoppage-time penalty from Josh Cullen amid some controversy over the decision (via BBC).
The Baggies remain top of the Championship after Leeds United were held to a goalless draw earlier in the day by Sheffield Wednesday.
Fans were ecstatic after the goal from Robson-Kanu, who scored with his only shot on goal, as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the West Brom fans:
Sorry but start Kanu instead of Austin next game beg.
