West Brom remain on the fringes of the top three in the Championship after they thumped outside Preston 4-0 at the Hawthorns.
Despite their recent inconsistencies, Dwight Gayle treble and a strike from Jay Rodriquez.
Aston Villa's perfectly-timed run of form continued as they beat Bristol City 2-1, Tammy Abraham scoring from the spot against his old side and Conor Hourihane adding a second before Famara Diedhiou pulled one back.
