West Bromwich Albion 4:1 Bromley — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

West Bromwich Albion brushed aside Bromley 4-1 in a Club Friendly Games contest that was far more one-sided than the scoreline suggests, with midfielder Harry Whitwell (7.12 rating) pulling the strings in a comfortable win that sets up nothing further as no next fixture is listed. The Baggies took an early lead through Jimmy Morgan in the 16th minute, but Bromley hit back almost immediately when Victor Adeboyejo levelled in the 20th minute, only for Aune Selland Heggebø to restore West Brom's advantage right on the stroke of half-time.

The decisive period came after the interval, as West Brom assumed total control and added two more goals in the final quarter of an hour through Jack Bray and Barney Stewart to put the result beyond any doubt.

The statistics tell a story of complete West Brom dominance: they commanded 64% of possession against Bromley's 36%, controlling the tempo throughout despite the visitors managing more corners. Harry Whitwell earned the highest rating of any player on the pitch with a 7.12, anchoring the midfield without getting on the scoresheet. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Bromley as the stronger side, but the result proved the prediction emphatically wrong as West Brom ran out comfortable winners with nothing else on the immediate horizon.
