Hojbjerg netted from Nathan Redmond's pass after 53 minutes, before Albion pressed for an equaliser and Martin Montoya crashed a shot against the woodwork. Here's how we rated the players of both teams.

1. Mathew Ryan - 6
Saved well-struck Redmond shot in early stages. No chance with Hojbjerg goal and had few other shots to deal with.

2. Martin Montoya - 6
Solid in defence and supported attacks well but Saints' goal came from down his side after Albion gave the ball away. Crashed a shot against the bar at 1-0.
