Finally, both Albion’s and Rondón’s scoreless runs came to an end. The teams first goal in almost nine hours of football was scored by the Venezuelan, notching his first Baggies goal of 2017.
With three games to go, the Baggies need a win and two draws to reach that 50 point mark and, with Chelsea needing a win to secure the Premier League title at the Hawthorns on Friday, a visit to the Etihad next Tuesday before a final day encounter at the home of relegation-threatened Swansea, it looks like a tough ask for a team with just one point from five games.
