Baggies correspondent Lewis Cox dished out the player ratings as the visitors came unstuck at the unbeaten league leaders.

JOSH GRIFFITHS

Had little chance with either goal, a close-range finish and one into the corner with aplomb. Made one decent stuff and a couple from range.

Helpless 6

GEORGE CAMPBELL

Looked a little lost for the most part at right-back, which is clearly not his natural role. Limited on the ball, though always willing.

Lost 5

NAT PHILLIPS

A busy night for the defender. Early chance saved by Brynn but beaten by Ayling for header for opener. Also beaten once or twice otherwise.

Beaten 5

CHRIS MEPHAM

A couple of very decent challenge thwarted Boro in dangerous moments but he was unable to prevent the two goals.

Caught 6
