West Brom Move Clear of Relegation Zone with 2-0 Win Over Preston

West Brom extended their unbeaten streak to eight games, moving further away from the relegation zone with a 2-0 victory over Preston in the Championship at Deepdale. Josh Maja's composed finish in the 11th minute gave the Baggies an early lead, and Daryl Dike sealed the win with a decisive strike in the 77th minute. The result leaves West Brom five points clear of the drop zone with three games remaining, despite the looming threat of a points deduction. The visitors dominated the match, with Preston's lackluster display reflecting the fact that they had little to play for. West Brom's interim boss James Morrison praised his team's performance, saying, 'I thought it was a top performance. The goals came at the right times in the end.' Preston's Paul Heckingbottom, on the other hand, expressed his disappointment, stating, 'Really disappointing today. One of the worst performances of the season.'
