West Brom secured Championship safety with a convincing 3-0 victory over Watford at The Hawthorns, extending their unbeaten run to nine games. Isaac Price opened the scoring and later assisted Daryl Dike, who netted his second consecutive goal before the break. On‑loan Crystal Palace defender Danny Imray capped the win, making it 488 minutes without conceding, and a morale boost for the fans.

Watford struggled to create clear chances, managing only a single on‑target effort. Early pressure saw Price’s 25‑yard drive parried by goalkeeper Egil Selvik, but the midfielder recovered, firing home from twelve yards after a cross from Imray. Dike’s header from a Price free‑kick doubled the lead just before halftime, leaving the visitors chasing shadows. The visitors could not threaten the Baggies' clean sheet.

In the second half, Josh Maja’s knock‑down set up Imray for a side‑foot finish, sealing the final tally. Watford’s James Abankwah and midfielder Jayson Molumby each picked up bookings, while striker Luca Kjerrumgaard squandered a headed chance. The clean sheet underscores their defensive solidity. West Brom now await the outcome of a hearing on alleged Profit and Sustainability Rule breaches, but the result on the pitch is unequivocal.
