WEST BROM midfielder Chris Brunt fears possible Euro 2016 heartbreak after suffering a knee injury that soured this thrilling win.

Brunt was last night awaiting the results of a scan but Albion medics are concerned he might have suffered cruciate ligament damage.
That would rule the 31-year-old out of Northern Ireland's plans for the European Championships, a tournament that would be the pinnacle of his career.
Brunt was injured in an awkward fall with his side 3-0 up just before half-time in a pulsating game.
Palace are now without a win in 10 league games despite a stirring second-half comeback.
Midfielder Joe Ledley said: "We were very unlucky near the end of the game but the first half was unacceptable."
