West Brom player ratings: Mepham and Whitwell top a gritty day with eights | OneFootball

Chris Mepham and Harry Whitwell led the way with eights in a spirited, well-drilled Albion showing.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Jimmy-Jay Morgan struck the 36th-minute winner after Max O'Leary’s early save steadied Albion.

O'Leary was rated seven for a key stop and confident handling. Nolan Galves impressed for seven, George Campbell had a mixed six, Mepham excelled for eight and Callum Styles used the ball well for seven.

Whitwell earned eight with an assist and smart use of possession. Rabby Nzingoula caught the eye on his first league start for seven, Ousmane Diakite recovered from an early scare for six, and Isaac Price’s vision earned seven as he helped create the goal.

Aune Heggebo battled on his return for six, missing a one-on-one for 2-0 and misreading a Whitwell cross. Morgan grafted with and without the ball for seven after netting the 36th-minute winner.

From 73 minutes Jayson Molumby injected urgency for seven and Felix Horn Myhre worked hard for six. At 82 minutes Nat Phillips produced fine tackles and Barney Stewart worked hard.
