Aune Heggebo was the star of the show for the Baggies after he opened the scoring for the home side before assisting Karlan Grant as the Blades' six-game unbeaten run in the league came to an end.

Sheffield United had the first chance of the game, and the best opportunity of the first half, when it worked the ball to Gustavo Hamer after West Brom lost the ball when trying to play out from the back, but Joe Wildsmith made a brilliant save to deny the midfielder.

Heggebo lashed an effort over the bar on the stroke of half-time, but broke the deadlock just five minutes after the break as he found himself unmarked at the near post from George Campbell's cross and the Norwegian placed the ball past Michael Cooper.

He then turned provider just after the hour mark, playing Grant through on goal, and the latter managed to hold off the defender before unleashing a powerful strike which went in off the crossbar.

Ryan Mason's side went close to a third in the 86th minute, but neither Heggebo nor Grant could get on the end of Mikey Johnston's pass across the face of the goal, but it mattered little as the Baggies won all three points.

The Baggies have now lost just four of their past 29 home league matches, winning 14 and drawing 11, and are unbeaten in seven with four wins and three draws since a 1-0 defeat to Derby County in September.
