West Brom player ratings: Raft of high marks after rampant second half
The latest Albion player ratings from correspondent Lewis Cox are in.

MAX O'LEARY
Kept a very welcome third clean sheet of the season but tests were few and far between. Good late stop from Cooper. Footwork and distribution was good.
Solid 7
BRAYANN PEREIRA
Continues to impress. He wobbled a touch in a tricky first period with a couple of defensive moments but some very fine attacking work after break.
Improved 7
CHRIS MEPHAM
The vice-captain had the band in the absence of Campbell and continued to ooze calmness and control. Some excellent defending and distribution once again.
Control 8
NAT PHILLIPS
Had some doubters after return to side in midweek but cast those aside here in a dominant display. Typical Phillips work with no-nonsense clearances.
Validation 8
CALLUM STYLES
His consistent excellent is regularly the norm. Does the simple things so well too. Neghli was a test at times. Styles shone again, though, against old side.
Consistent 8
RABBY NZINGOULA
What an excellent week the Frenchman has enjoyed and he continued to raise levels here. Even in a tough first half he was Albion's best player. So lively and nimble.
Nimble 9
JAYSON MOLUMBY
Molumby is nearing 200 Albion games and is in his best spell for the club. Tireless energy but so good on the front foot. Pass for Price's first and a rare goal. Matured under Morrison and flying.
Flying 9
OUSMANE DIAKITE
Another whose regular excellence has become the norm. He tried to make things happen in a tough first half and helped run show after break.
Dominant 8
ISAAC PRICE
Has very much taken it on himself to be the difference-maker this season and he continued here. A wonderful opener to break the deadlock. Late assist for Horn Myhre.
Difference 9
AUNE HEGGEBO
A first start in six games has been deserved and he had a couple of decent headers off target. A thread in that regard. Otherwise a tough, physical afternoon.
Off-target 6
JIMMY-JAY MORGAN
Not quite the day for the frontman, but it was not for the lack of trying. He put himself about and chased every cause. Touch not quite there at times.
Tough 6
Substitutes:
Felix Horn Myhre (for Morgan, 61) Wonderful chip for late goal and fine assist. Impact. 8
Barney Stewart (for Heggebo, 61) Put himself about against big defenders. 7
Kareem Tunde (for Nzingoula, 75) Tunde's time? Showed up and big roles in goals two and three. 8
Conor Townsend (for Pereira, 89) n/a
Matty Crowther (for Molumby, 89) n/a
Subs not used: Ingram (gk), Maughan, Whitwell, Bany.
