Slaven Biliu0107’s reign as Albion boss began with a memorable 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest.
The Baggies came from behind to claim all three points at the City Ground - ending the hosts’ 36-year unbeaten home record on the opening day.
Kyle Edwards pulled Albion level just seven minutes after Matty Cash’s opener before Matt Phillips fired in a “did-he-mean-it?” effort from 40 yards to give the Baggies the lead.
Albion had to face a ferocious start from Forest who came out the traps and had the Baggies pinned back for the first 10 minutes.
