Sam Allardyce’s first win as Baggies boss moves this season’s team above the 2004/05 side in the comparison stakes, although the class of 20/21 have still scored fewer and conceded more.
A third successive win over Wolves is a reason to celebrate at any time, and it means that Albion have lost just three of the last twenty-two Black Country Derbies dating back to 1997.
Having not been awarded a penalty all season, the two awarded today makes it three in two games with Matheus Pereira having converted all three to move to the top of the Albion scoring charts with four in total, three in the league.
