Corberan proud as West Brom rally to beat former club Huddersfield

West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberan was proud as his side came from behind to beat Huddersfield 4-1 on Sunday to strengthen their grip on a Championship play-off place.

It had looked like being an unhappy return to Huddersfield for Corberan, with the Baggies unable to register a single shot in a first half where Delano Burgzorg gave the Terriers the lead.

But Huddersfield, who have had five managers since Corberan left the club in July 2022, wilted under a second-half onslaught, with Mikey Johnston twice on target, Kyle Bartley scoring on his return and Okay Yokuslu letting fly with a powerful shot.

Victory extended West Brom's unbeaten run to five games and left them fifth in the table, five points clear of seventh-placed Hull.

"We knew that today was important and that it was going to be a tough game," said Corberan.

"In one week, we've had three games and two away. Playing away is tough, especially when you play against a team that are fighting to survive."

The Spaniard added: "I like the fact that I saw the right mentality of my team, especially in the second half.

"It was important after the first half to understand the type of game that we were playing."

Defeat left Huddersfield in the bottom three, but only one point behind relegation rivals Birmingham and Queens Park Rangers.

In Sunday's other match, Bristol City beat fellow mid-table side Swansea 1-0 thanks to defender Rob Dickie's header 17 minutes from time.
