Having spent eight consecutive years in the Premier League from 2010, West Brom enjoyed many good memories before they were eventually relegated.
Their highest position and arguably best campaign came under Steve Clarke, when the Scotsman guided Albion to an eighth placed finish and the side picked up some memorable results along the way. And, one that will always stand out was the 3-0 success at Mauricio Pochettino’s Southampton.

The comfortable nature of the victory was further proof that Albion really belonged at the highest level, with goals from Marc-Antoine Fortune, Romelu Lukaku and Shane Long sealing an impressive win in a game that also brought three red cards.
Will West Brom be in the Premier League next season?
Yes
No
As the victory came seven years ago yesterday, the club shared the highlights on Twitter and it’s fair to say the fans loved looking back at what was a popular away day on the south coast. Here we look at some of the comments from the supporters…
