WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

West Brom beat Southampton to keep 'great escape' alive

Goals by Matheus Pereira, Matt Phillips and Callum Robinson kept West Bromwich Albion's slim relegation hopes alive with a 3-0 win against Southampton.

West Brom thought they had scored after four minutes but Mbaye Diagne's header was ruled out for offside.

Pereira put Sam Allardyce's side ahead on 31 minutes, drawing a foul from goalkeeper Fraser Forster before beating him from the resulting penalty kick.

Phillips added a second goal three minutes later with a smart close-range finish from Diagne's deep delivery.

Robinson fired West Brom 3-0 up on 69 minutes when he collected Okay Yokuslu's pass and rifled a left-foot shot beyond Forster for his third goal in two matches.

Southampton went close to pulling a goal back with 10 minutes remaining but Che Adams' drive flashed just wide of the upright.

And Saints' forgettable day was complete when Sam Johnstone saved James Ward-Prowse's added-time penalty, awarded for a foul on Moussa Djenepo.

West Brom remain 19th, but their first back-to-back wins since May 2018 take them on to 24 points, eight points from safety with seven matches to play.

Southampton drop one place to 14th with 36 points.
