West Bromwich Albion Secure Play-off Spot with Victory Over Rotherham United

West Bromwich Albion secured a crucial victory against already-relegated Rotherham United, with Brandon Thomas-Asante and John Swift on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win.

Thomas-Asante celebrated his 12th goal of the season, with Adam Reach providing the assist for the opening goal. The Baggies’ dominance was further solidified by a controversial penalty decision that led to Swift converting from the spot for his ninth goal of the campaign.

Despite the victory, West Brom had to rely on a refereeing error to seal the win, as the decision to award a penalty for a handball that occurred outside the box left Rotherham United frustrated.

The Millers, who have 14 players out of contract this summer, put in a spirited second-half display but were unable to breach the Baggies’ defense again.

West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan expressed his desire for the team to continue competing at their best level in the remaining games of the season, while Rotherham boss Leam Richardson criticized the poor decision that he felt changed the outcome of the game.

With the win, West Brom solidified their place in the Championship play-off spots, while Rotherham will be looking to regroup as they face Swansea in their next fixture. The Baggies will host Sunderland in their upcoming match as they aim to maintain their position in the promotion race.
