Keith Andrews scored his first goal for 10-man Blackburn to salvage a 2-2 against Tony Mowbray's side at The Hawthorns.
Andrews, signed from MK Dons in August for £1.3 million, drilled a low 20-yard cross-shot past Baggies goalkeeper Scott Carson.
Striker Benni McCarthy put Blackburn ahead from the penalty spot before being sent off for two bookable offences.
Goals from Roman Bednar and Ishmael Miller looked to have sealed victory for Albion before Andrews' late strike.
McCarthy had given Rovers a first-half lead from the penalty spot but was then dismissed by referee Mike Jones for two bookable offences before half-time.
Albion dominated the second period and Bednar brought them level before before Miller struck for the second time in five days for Tony Mowbray's side.
It looked as if the Baggies were going to gain a precious win after a run of three successive defeats had sent them veering towards the Barclays Premier League relegation zone - but Andrews clean hit spoilt their day
Miller justified Mowbray's decision to promote him to the starting line-up after breaking his duck for the campaign against Newcastle in midweek.
And the quality of his goal against Rovers suggests there is a talent waiting to be unleashed once he fully adjusts to the demands of the top flight, although he still has much to learn before being the finished article.
