It has been a remarkable season for West Brom in the Championship, with the Baggies sitting top of the league table at the halfway point of the campaign, but Slaven Bilic’s squad aren’t the only Albion side to enjoy a great year.
A great result on the road!

West Brom’s U-23 side in Premier League 2 have just as good as their senior squad counterparts, with the development team sitting third in Division 2 of the English youth pyramid, and last night saw the young Baggies claim a massive 4-0 win against Sunderland with goals from Rayhaan Tulloch, Zak Brown and Finn Azaz sealing an impressive victory.
With West Brom excelling at U-23 level with a big result over the Black Cats, some supporters on social media were buzzing to see the club’s main development side put on a good show against Sunderland.
