Tammy Abraham denied managerless West Brom a first Premier League win since January as Swansea battled to a 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
Jay Rodriguez broke the deadlock in the 54th minute for bottom club West Brom, who were playing under caretaker manager Darren Moore after Alan Pardew left by mutual consent on Monday.
However, the Baggies' winless run was extended to 10 league games when Abraham met Sam Clucas' corner (75), in what was the forward's first league goal since October.
A first point in nine games leaves West Brom 10 points from safety, while Swansea remain in 15th, four points above 18th-placed Southampton, who are in action at Arsenal on Sunday - live on Sky Sports Premier League.
West Brom controlled play in the first half, but their familiar struggles in the final third continued - a Chris Brunt attempt from distance was the closest either side came in the opening 30 minutes.
Andre Ayew should have broken the deadlock for Swansea, but the striker could only stab an attempt wide after latching onto Clucas' through ball.
Moments before the half-time whistle, Craig Dawson's cushioned header found Rodriguez, and it took a fine flying save from Lukasz Fabianski to deny the West Brom forward.
West Brom remained on the front foot in the second half, and they took the lead when Rodriguez tapped in after Salomon Rondon flicked on Matt Phillips' cross.
The hosts pushed for a second, but Swansea captain Federico Fernandez was on hand to block James McClean's strike from inside the box.
West Brom then gave away a needless corner, and duly paid for it, with Abraham meeting Clucas' cross - seemingly with his shoulder - to earn a point for the Swans.

Man of the match - Chris Brunt
West Brom's captain for the day in Jonny Evans' absence was central to all of their play going forward.
Brunt had 25 more touches (104) than any other player on the pitch, gaining possession a match-high 10 times as well as putting in a number of dangerous crosses for the hosts.
The managers
West Brom caretaker manager Darren Moore: "It's a proud moment. Everybody knows my connection here at the football club. To step out there it was a proud moment and really good to lead the team. I thank everybody out there today.
"It was a together spirit from everybody at the club and together we got that valuable point. It stops the rot and it sends everybody away with a point. It's not another loss.
"I'm always one for if you don't win the game, then don't lose it. The boys did that really. In recent weeks maybe if we'd have gone level, with that amount of time we might have lost the game."
Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal: "I am [pleased with a point]. We expected a difficult game with a change of manager," Carvalhal told Sky Sports. "The [West Brom] players are in a difficult position, and they made things difficult. We felt this during the game, they put some problems to us even though we controlled with our defensive organisation.
"We must do better when we're on the ball, in the first half we knew that. In the second half, it was still the same, but after the goal, we reacted - we have a lot of strength in our head.
"The team's reaction was fantastic. We were nearer to the opponent's goal and did not gift too many opportunities to them.
