EVERTON fans were left fuming after Yerry Mina and Jordan Pickford conspired to let West Brom score on Saturday.
Grady Diangana was given the freedom of Goodison Park to run at goal before burying his effort from 20 yards out.

The shot sent England No1 Pickford, 26, sprawling but his reactions were too late as the Baggies took the lead.
It left Toffees fans fed up with their goalkeeper while others fumed at centre-back Mina for dropping off his man.
One viewer tweeted: “Good goal but that’s why Pickford needs to be nowhere near England.”
Gary added: “Pickford far too slow moving, could/should have been saved.”
But Kojo lay the blame elsewhere, and wrote: “Yerry Mina’s brain is currently in Colombia salsa dancing.”
Paul commented: “Awful defending from Everton for that West Brom goal. Pickford was too slow to react and dive sure but for that goal the defence are more to blame.”
Michael agreed, writing: “People are genuinely blaming Pickford for that Diangana goal, ignoring that fact that if Yerry Mina backed off any further he’d be at Anfield.”
With Evertonians unhappy at how they fell a goal behind, West Ham fans watched on in disbelief at Diangana’s performance for West Brom.
The Hammers sold their academy product, 22, for an initial £13million on the eve of the new season.
And his first Premier League goal left them wondering what might have been.
West Ham fan Rob tweeted: “Who’s this Diangana fella…..exactly the type of player we should be looking to buy.”
And another Hammers account posted: “Could any West Ham player score that goal Grady just did? Anderson two seasons ago maybe, Bowen if he had more pace possibly, but for me the answer is no! Only got 18m for Diangana! Joke of a club.”
While Mo remarked: “Diangana is a baller, West Ham are idiots.”
