WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2, CITY O

League leaders Albion made it five straight home victories with goals in the 42nd and 89th minutes of this match at the Hawthorns in front of a 14,676 crowd.

The margin would have been greater but for a great display by City 'keeper Kevin Miller who denied Gary Robson, twice and Craig Shakespeare before being beaten by lan Hamilton's near post header. Exeter looked a more potent force in the second half and substitute Steve Williams had his 20-yard effort well saved by Stuart Naylor and Eamonn Dolan headed just wide before Bernard NcNally lashed the ball home from close range in the closing minutes to make the game safe for Albion.
