West Brom hit their stride in the second half to defeat Millwall 3-0
Isaac Price, Jayson Molumby and Felix Horn Myhre were the goalscorers.
Second-half goals from Isaac Price, Jayson Molumby and substitute Felix Horn Myhre gave West Bromwich Albion a 3-0 win over Millwall in the Sky Bet Championship at The Hawthorns.
Price broke the deadlock with a superb, curling effort six minutes after the break before setting up Myhre for the 89th-minute third goal, after Molumby scored 12 minutes from time.
A deserved return to winning ways made it six matches unbeaten for James Morrison’s side, who have now taken 13 points from their last 18.
Millwall have now suffered three consecutive losses on the road, including successive 3-0 defeats after losing at Birmingham City in midweek.
And the Londoners will be kicking themselves after Josh Coburn missed a sitter in the first half.
Albion had the first chance when Aune Heggebo headed over the bar from Price’s corner.
But in a high-tempo start, Millwall should have taken the lead in the 20th minute.
Coburn was left unmarked six yards out from Camiel Neghli’s cross but blazed over first time.
Albion threatened again when Callum Styles’s run was superbly picked out by Ousmane Diakite but the left back could only slice comfortably wide on his weaker right foot.
A desperately stretching Coburn toe-poked wide after another teasing delivery from Neghli gave the visitors a sight of goal.
Millwall midfielder Derek Mazou-Sacko then produced a rising drive that flew straight at goalkeeper Max O’Leary.
Heggebo brushed the side netting at the other end after his first touch drove him wide of the target.
Albion midfielder Molumby went closest to date to breaking the deadlock in the 40th minute.
His curling shot from some 35 yards had to be tipped over by back-pedalling goalkeeper Max Crocombe.
Millwall made a half-time substitution with Mark Sykes replacing Mazou-Sacko.
But it was Albion who went ahead when Price scored in the 51st minute.
The Northern Ireland winger took a pass on the edge of the centre circle and drove forward before curling a superb side-footed effort into the bottom corner of the net from 25 yards.
It was his eighth goal of the season in all competitions and sixth in the Championship.
Albion made it 2-0 in the 78th minute. The unmarked Molumby tapped home after Crocombe failed to hold Myhre’s cross.
Substitute Kareem Tunde fired straight at Crocombe from inside the six-yard box as a dominant Albion threatened more goals.
But Albion goalkeeper Max O’Leary had to be alert tip over Caleb Taylor’s header from Tairyk Arconte’s cross.
The home side then scored the goal of the game to add the gloss to their victory in the 89th minute.
Tunde beat two Millwall players on the right before finding Price, who picked out Myhre at the far post to steer home unmarked.
