West Bromwich Albion have been involved in six goalless draws this season - four of them at The Hawthorns
West Bromwich Albion's slim Championship play-off hopes were ended and Coventry City's all but buried as the two sides played out a goalless Midlands derby at The Hawthorns.
But it needed a last-penalty save by Coventry keeper Ben Wilson to deny Albion a dramatic injury-time winner.
Michael Rose was adjudged to have fouled Callum Robinson but Wilson dived to his right to palm away Karlan Grant's 96th-minute spotkick.
That officially put an end to any lingering play-off hopes Steve Bruce's Albion nurtured, while Coventry's hopes are all but over too, as they sit six points behind sixth-placed Sheffield United, with two games to go and a far worse goal difference.
In a poor game in which neither side managed a shot in target in the first 45 minutes, it turned into the the sixth goalless draw Albion's fans have suffered this season - four of them at The Hawthorns.
