West Brom got back to winning ways with two second-half strikes proving to be the difference in a 2-0 triumph at Rotherham.<\/p>\n
The Baggies had suffered back-to-back defeats heading into this game but Grady Diangana\u2019s deflected strike and Jed Wallace\u2019s perfect free-kick ensured a very welcome three points for Carlos Corberan\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Rotherham welcomed new head coach Leam Richardson but they remain winless since October \u2013 a nine-game streak which has seen them drop to the foot of the Championship.<\/p>\n
The first chance of the game fell the way of the visitors, with a low corner from Alex Mowatt finding its way through to Darnell Furlong who poked wide at the near post.<\/p>\n
Rotherham\u2019s first opening came through the recalled Jordan Hugill but his floated header from Ollie Rathbone\u2019s free-kick was easily gathered by Alex Palmer.<\/p>\n
That was as good as it got for the remainder of the half as West Brom kept the ball well but did very little with it.<\/p>\n
The visitors finally showed some adventure early in the second half with a mazy dribble from skipper Conor Townsend leading to a cross to Jayson Molumby, but he miscued his volley off target.<\/p>\n
They went in front on 54 minutes when a cross from Molumby was cleared hastily by Dexter Lembikisa and only as far as Diangana, whose low effort took a deflection to wrong-foot keeper Viktor Johansson.<\/p>\n
Rotherham tried to respond quickly but Arvin Appiah lashed way off target after finding space around the edge of the box.<\/p>\n
The visitors almost fashioned another chance through a succession of Furlong\u2019s long throws and then substitute Wallace whipped in a dangerous cross which had to be cleared to safety.<\/p>\n
Richardson looked to his bench with the hopes of mustering a chance for a leveller in the closing stages.<\/p>\n
The Millers\u2019 record signing Sam Nombe joined Hugill up front but it was Hakeem Odoffin who almost got on the end of a whipped cross from the right wing.<\/p>\n
Rathbone also delivered a dangerous ball from a free-kick and it was almost met by Nombe\u2019s head before it drifted out to safety at the back post.<\/p>\n
West Brom made sure of the points in the 90th minute with Wallace curling in an inch-perfect free-kick from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n
Tom Eaves looked to grab a consolation for Rotherham in added time but his header from Lembikisa\u2019s cross was blocked by former Miller Semi Ajayi.<\/p>\n
