2 ................... TOWN step towards safety!

whose scuffed right-footed effort was hit just well enough to beat Ben Foster low to his right.

After the opening goal, West Brom began to fall apart, with Town in the ascendancy.

Williams was next to worry Foster, with his drilled effort fizzing just wide. Minutes later, the keeper did have a touch of the ball – but only to pull it out of his net for a second time.

Mounie was the man to punish the hosts for the second time after a beautiful reverse pass from Pritchard slipped him in one on one with the keeper.

The in-form Mounie made no mistake and bent the ball past Foster to record his fifth goal in his last six appearances.

“The Town are staying up” filled the air after Town’s second, but the ecstasy was short-lived.

West Brom earned a corner and piled men into the box, pinning Jonas Lossl on his line.

Craig Dawson met Chris Brunt’s delivery with a well-timed header to haul the hosts back into the clash.

The goal gave Alan Pardew’s side confidence and the Baggies – who had been dreadful for 65 minutes – worked their way back into the match.

Lossl was called upon to make a good save from Brunt’s free kick, while Foster was also tested by a sweet volley from the boot of Williams.

The hosts pushed forward and continued to look dangerous from setpieces, with Dawson heading inches over the bar following another Brunt corner.

But Town held on to record their first-ever Premier League double and stretch the gap between the two sides to 10 points.

West Bromwich Albion substitute Burke looks to be free in the area but Terence Kongolo is on hand with a great recovery challenge.
