West Brom has guaranteed their place in the Sky Bet Championship for next season, pending a possible points deduction, after a resounding 3-0 win over Watford at The Hawthorns. The team's unbeaten streak now stands at nine games, with Isaac Price scoring the first goal and assisting the second for Daryl Dike, who netted his second goal in as many games before halftime.
On-loan right-back Danny Imray scored a well-deserved third goal for the Baggies, extending their unbeaten run to 488 minutes without conceding a goal. Although the team must await the outcome of a hearing regarding alleged infringements of Profit and Sustainability Rules, they can celebrate one of their most one-sided victories of the season, with Watford only managing a single on-target effort.
The match saw several notable moments, including Price's fierce 25-yard drive, which was saved by goalkeeper Egil Selvik, and his subsequent goal in the 21st minute, where he swept home a first-time shot from 12 yards after a cross from Imray. The victory was sealed with Imray's clinical finish in the 69th minute, assisted by Josh Maja and Price, to make it 3-0. Post-match, West Brom's James Morrison praised his players for their perseverance and resilience, emphasizing the importance of finishing the season strongly.
