West Brom – Burnley

West Brom’s home ground proved a fortress as they dispatched Burnley 3‑1, stretching their lead to 14 points and solidifying a fourth‑place standing with four wins, two draws and a single loss from seven games. The visitors, languishing at the foot of the table in 24th place, remain stuck on three points after three stalemates and four defeats, their goal difference slipping to minus eight. The win widened the gap in the head‑to‑head tally for the season, giving West Brom the sole advantage after their earlier triumph over the Clarets. Meanwhile Burnley’s hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone grew ever more distant as their defensive frailties, reflected in a 16‑goal concession tally, persisted.
