A behind-closed-doors friendly against the Cottagers took place early on Tuesday afternoon in west London and finished 1-0 in favour of the hosts.

Attacker Emile Smith Rowe netted the warm-up fixture's only goal as he slotted in from Sander Berge's through ball.

Baggies boss Ryan Mason used 20 players as the latest fitness exercise ahead of the August 9 kick off at home to Blackburn Rovers.

Albion's pre-season schedule next takes them to League One outfit Lincoln City on Saturday with fans to travel to Sincil Bank to see their side play at Lincoln for the first time since 1991.

The Baggies' pre-season schedule has so far seen them beat Port Vale 2-0 and draw against Dynamo Kyiv, both behind closed doors, as well as Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Blackpool in front of supporters.

Lincoln will be the second public friendly of the summer, before Albion sign off for their pre-season schedule at home to Spanish outfit Rayo Vallecano at The Hawthorns on Saturday week, August 2.
