The death knell is yet to sound on West Brom’s impending relegation but Black Country rivals Wolves undoubtedly shoved them closer to the relegation trap door.
Baggies boss Sam Allardyce admits his side now needs “magic miracles and fairy dust” to stay up.

Albion did level in the 62nd minute through Mbaye Diagne but they were unable to fashion a winner, despite the skies eventually clearing to leave a rainbow over The Hawthorns.
