West Brom clinch promotion the the Premier League

April 28, 2008

A draw against Southampton tonight effectively promoted West Brom to the Premier League after a two year absence. Albion will be promoted due to their superior goal difference with Hull three points behind with one game to play.

Substitute Adam Lallana put Saints ahead late on with a goal against the run of play, Southampton are fighting for relegation and point gives them hope going into the last game of the season against Sheffield United.

Winger Chris Brunt grabbed the all important goal, with six minutes to go the winger slammed the ball home for the goal which sent the baggies boinging.

WBA now have to equal or better Stoke’s result on the last day of the season to clinch the title. WBA play at QPR and Stoke take on Leicester who could do a win to help then stay in the division.
