West Bromwich Albion were staring relegation in the face in April 2018, as they battled to stay in the Premier League.

Alan Pardew had been sacked after a winless run of nine games without a win with the Baggies rock bottom of the division and ten points from safety with five games to go.

Tony Pulis had started the season before he was canned in the November.

Survival looked to be beyond the realms of possibility for West Brom with Darren Moore coming in until the end of the season to steady the ship.

In his first game in charge, he picked up a point at home to Swansea City to stop the run of eight consecutive defeats.

Before their last stand, prior to relegation, was still to come.

West Brom’s return to the Championship was eventually confirmed as the games ran out, but on April 15, they made a historical impact in the Premier League for the last time before bowing out.

In Moore’s second game in charge, he and his team headed to Old Trafford to take on second-place Manchester United.

In an unlikely turn of events, the Baggies saw off the Red Devils courtesy of a Jay Rodriguez goal inside the final 20 minutes.

The goal would seal three vital points in a bid to outrun the clock and stay in the top flight, but more significantly it handed Manchester City the title after their lead at the top became unassailable.

The reaction to the win was spectacular amidst all the doom and gloom at the Hawthorns.

It was one last time on the road West Brom’s supports could lap up the adulation of a scalp, and forget their relegation fears for one afternoon.

The win over Manchester United was the curtain call on their stay in the top flight before dropping down to the Championship ahead of the 2018/19 season.
