The Baggies returned to winning ways with a professional display.
Albion impressively put a financial charge behind them to respond with an excellent 2-0 win at Preston.
Strikers Josh Maja and Daryl Dike netted the goals to the delight of 4,000 travelling fans at Deepdale.
It moved James Morrison’s side five points clear of the bottom three in the Championship as the Baggies edge ever closer to safety, albeit with the question mark of potential EFL sanctions on the horizon.
Watch above as the Express & Star’s Albion correspondent Lewis Cox has his say on the afternoon.
