West Bromwich Albion 3 Leicester City 0: match report
The Italian, who changed jobs from managing Milton Keynes Dons to West Brom in the close season, will find the result all the more pleasant as it leaves his side on the brink of a return to the Premier League. [LNB]Their destiny depends on how Nottingham Forest fare in their next two matches, but few believe that the Hawthorns will witness top flight football next season via anything other than the automatic route.

[LNB]A heel injury had left the former Middlesbrough player arguing that not until next season will the supporters see his best. [LNB]However, he was in tantalising mood, unleashing a first-time volley from outside the area, sent arcing into goal with a swish of his right boot. [LNB]If the shot was classy, the celebration was better. The midfielder tracked the ball as it speared its way between goalkeeper and post, then turned away, his nonchalance broken only when he stabbed the air with both hands, as if letting rip with two revolvers. Very cool. [LNB]Leicester might have held out hope of redressing the balance, but when or from where it would come was never certain. [LNB]The spectators were not given long to mull it over, Koren making it a matter of academic interest on the cusp of half-time, picking off Nigel Pearson's side with a half-volley that was not as stylish as his team-mate's, but still effective. His second sweetened the deal. [LNB]
