West Bromwich Albion Ends Losing Streak with Convincing Win Over Preston to Secure Play-Off Spot

Posted : 04 May 2024

West Bromwich Albion put an end to their losing streak and secured their spot in the play-offs with a commanding victory over Preston. The scoring spree began with Alex Mowatt's successful penalty kick just before halftime, awarded after Darnell Furlong was fouled by Preston's Liam Lindsay. Kyle Bartley extended Albion's lead in the second half, capitalizing on Furlong's long throw with a powerful header to double the advantage.

 

Furlong himself got on the scoresheet, tapping in Conor Townsend's precise cross to seal West Brom's 3-0 victory and confirm their fifth-place finish in the league. The Baggies dominated from the start, with Grady Diangana and Brandon Thomas-Asante both testing Preston's goalkeeper, Freddie Woodman, early on. Woodman's heroics kept Preston in contention, making crucial saves including a double stop just before halftime, but he couldn't prevent Albion from taking the lead through Mowatt's penalty.

 

The second half saw West Brom continue their attacking prowess, with Bartley and Cedric Kipre going close from Mowatt's set-pieces. The relentless pressure paid off when Townsend's delivery found Furlong, who expertly finished to secure West Brom's place in the play-offs for the first time since 2019. Their next challenge awaits as they prepare to face Southampton in the play-off showdown.
