Albion reporter Lewis Cox dishes out the player ratings as the Baggies moved to two points clear of the drop zone.

MAX O'LEARY 

Big saves from Osayi-Samuel and Osman in the first period. Fortunate from a looped corner and moment of hesitancy. Another huge stop from Ducksch after break. Charmed life late on but earned it.

Earned 7

DANNY IMRAY

Endured a nightmare start with the early booking against speedster Osman. Lost Paik for diving header cleared on line. Improved later in break but hooked at half-time again.

Hooked 5

NAT PHILLIPS

A series of strong tackles and important clearances. Continuously put his head where it hurts and finished with concussion injury. Is he finding some form?

Warrior 7

CHARLIE TAYLOR

Accomplished and well-positioned for key clearances. Unbelievable goalline clearance after the hour was outrageous. He was composed throughout and was rightly applauded by colleague at full-time.

Clearance 8
