West Brom Move Further Away from Relegation Zone with 2-0 Win at Preston

West Brom extended their unbeaten run to eight games with a convincing 2-0 victory over Preston in the Championship, further distancing themselves from the relegation zone. The win was sealed with goals from Josh Maja and Daryl Dike, with Maja showing great composure to put the Baggies ahead in the 11th minute. Dike, who came off the bench, secured the win with a decisive finish in the 77th minute. The victory leaves West Brom five points clear of danger with three games remaining, although the threat of a points deduction still looms. Interim boss James Morrison has overseen a significant improvement in the team's fortunes since taking charge, with the Baggies now looking more confident of avoiding relegation. In contrast, Preston's performance was lackluster, with the team struggling to create meaningful chances despite having nothing to lose. The introduction of Thierry Small at halftime failed to spark a reaction from the home team, and they were ultimately unable to overcome the deficit. West Brom's win was a testament to their resilience and determination, and they will look to build on this momentum in their remaining games.
