Andrews denies Baggies

Paul Ince's side took an 11th minute lead through Benni McCarthy's crisply-struck penalty, awarded after Ryan Donk - who gave away a penalty at Newcastle in midweek - tugged at the shirt of former Albion striker Jason Roberts.
Goals from Roman Bednar and Ishmael Miller looked to have sealed victory for Albion before Andrews' late strike.
Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson beat out a James Morrison volley and Borja Valero chipped over the bar, before McCarthy picked up the first of his yellow cards after 19 minutes for bringing down Jonathan Greening.
Robert Koren was also off target, before McCarthy handled a 36th-minute clearance from Martin Olsson near the halfway line and was sent off.
Blackburn had a remarkable let-off when Miller hit the post, then Rovers defender Ryan Nelsen inadvertently deflected the ball against the bar and the upright before the danger was cleared.
Robinson did well to beat out a 25-yard Koren piledriver but Rovers were struggling and after 55 minutes Roman Bednar brought the hosts level.
Valero and Miller were involved in the build-up before releasing Bednar, who poked the ball past Robinson for his fourth goal of the campaign.
After 62 minutes Valero played the ball into the feet of Miller and in an instant he spun on the edge of the box and crashed a fierce low shot past Robinson to give the hosts a 2-1 lead.
However, with seconds remaining the visitors got their point when former MK Dons midfielder Andrews equalised with an angled drive past Scott Carson.
