West Brom: Rogic disappointed vs Preston

West Bromwich Albion continued their nice latest type as they earned a formidable 2-0 win over playoff hopefuls Preston North Finish on the Hawthorns.

A double from Okay Yokuslu sealed the three factors for Carlos Corberan’s aspect, with the Baggies incomes yet one more clear sheet after being defensively reworked beneath the Spanish supervisor.

The end result leaves the Midlands outfit only one level exterior the playoff positions within the second tier, with considerations over a relegation battle beneath Steve Bruce now a distant reminiscence because of the resurgence beneath Corberan.

Whereas it was one other dominant efficiency from the Baggies on Thursday, not each participant was as much as commonplace on the Hawthorns.

After an help from the bench in opposition to Bristol Metropolis final outing, Tom Rogic was handed a begin in opposition to Ryan Lowe’s aspect however he struggled to depart a lot impression on the sport.

As per Sofascore, the previous Celtic man would earn a disappointing 6.3 ranking for his efficiency, which was comfortably the worst of any West Brom participant to function within the sport.

To spherical off a woeful efficiency, the 30-year-old lost 100% of the duels he was concerned in and misplaced possession on seven events, so it was no shock that Corberan axed him earlier than the hour mark.
