Goals from Tom Fellows and Jed Wallace secured victory for play-off chasing West Brom as they beat Bristol City at The Hawthorns.
Carlos Corberan's side stay fifth in the Championship but now have an eight-point buffer to seventh-placed Hull City.
The visitors pushed to get on the scoresheet late on, hitting the crossbar twice, but could not find a consolation.
City are 14th after their fifth loss in six matches and are not yet out of relegation trouble, sitting eight points above the drop zone.
Fellows opened the scoring just before the interval to liven up fairly quiet first half.
