Sheffield Wednesday 0 Albion 3

Albion advanced their push for automatic promotion and kept the chasing pack at bay with a hard-fought 3-0 win at Hillsborough on Wednesday night.

A Charlie Austin penalty was followed up by a Matheus Pereira double, as an exquisite header and a drilled close-range effort sealed victory at Sheffield Wednesday and retained the Baggies’ five-point advantage over third place in the Sky Bet Championship.

Slaven Biliu0107 made five changes to his starting XI as Albion enter a period of seven fixtures in just 22 days.

Charlie Austin replaced Hal Robson-Kanu up front, while Kyle Bartley, Filip Krovinoviu0107, Rekeem Harper and Dara O’Shea made their first starts since the league resumed in June.
