West Brom continued their rise up the Championship table as they climbed to fifth after a 2-0 win over Coventry on Monday night.
Grady Diangana put the Baggies in front after 17 minutes with his second goal in as many games, following a glaring error from Sky Blues goalkeeper Ben Wilson.
Haji Wright passed up a glorious chance to level early on in the second half, but substitute Brandon Thomas-Asante made it two after the break, despite appearing to have strayed offside in the build-up, punishing the hosts’ failure to convert any of their 15 shots.
West Brom move to within two points of third-placed Leeds and 11 points of second-placed Ipswich after their fourth league win in six games, with Coventry – who lost at home for the first time in 10 games – still all the way down in 20th after their fifth defeat of the campaign.
