West Brom rose to fifth in the league with a 2-0 win over Coventry City on Monday night with Matt Phillips the stand-out player.
Brandon Thomas-Asante and Grady Diangana both got on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win which helped the Baggies jump into the playoff spots.
An excellent performance from West Brom continues to build confidence around the club that this season will be successful.
In the game, there were several stand-out players, as only Jed Wallace caught lots of critique for his performance up top.
Matt Phillips had a great game for the Baggies on the left, assisting Thomas-Asante’s goal in the second half.
Following the game Jonny Drury gave his player ratings on Express and Star.
Phillips ‘real class’ against Coventry
Writing his ratings in reaction to the win, Drury gave Phillips an 8/10 for his contributions to the game.
He wrote: “Albion have a number of players who have really stepped up during this injury crisis and Phillips is certainly one of them.
“Showed real class at times to drag Albion up the pitch and his pass for the goal would have had its own five-minute section on Match of the Day had it been a top-flight match.”
Phillips didn’t just contribute the assist and was excellent in multiple other aspects of the game.
Four key passes along with an 81% pass completion rate according to SofaScore showcase just how excellent he was on the ball for the Baggies.
Defensively he was also great, winning five duels along with five tackles and three clearances made him an almost unbeatable prospect for opponents.
He was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch for either side and was a deserving man of the match. He will hope to put in a similar display on Saturday against Hull City.
