Albion Women claimed a 2-1 victory against Plymouth Argyle in a thrilling National League Plate semi-final match which saw Nicole Nymoen score an extra-time winner to send West Brom to their second cup final in as many years, with the Baggies looking to defend their title in the competition.
Is West Brom's academy one of the best in England?
Yes
No
It was a thrilling way to end a cup semi-final, and a handful of West Brom supporters on social media were delighted for the club to reach the Plate final for a second consecutive season, with the Baggies seemingly the favourites going into the contest later in the year.
Here’s what some West Brom fans had to say on Twitter about the women side’s 2-1 win against Plymouth…
