After falling behind 10 minutes in to an Oli McBurnie goal, the Baggies roared back with two headers from two centre-backs from two Matt Phillips corners.

The first was a well-placed looping header from Craig Dawson three minutes after conceding. The second was a simple one for Ahmed Hegazi at the back post on the stroke of half-time.

Despite being outpassed by a Swansea team who were pleasing on the eye for large parts of the game, particularly in the first half, this was the sort of victory teams need to make in order to mount a promotion charge.
