Harry Kane’s double looked to have handed Spurs a sixth win at St James’ Park in seven visits when he struck twice inside four first-half minutes after Joelinton’s opener with his 28th and 29th goals of the season.
Almiron coolly slotted past Baggies keeper Sam Johnstone before former Baggies star Dwight Gayle clambered off the bench to head an 82nd minute winner after Darnell Furlong had hauled the Baggies level.
The result robbed the visitors of the chance to put some more daylight between themselves and the relegation zone, having lost their previous seven away league games.
