West Brom go second in the Championship after breezing past Bristol City in match that was TWICE delayed for separate medical emergencies involving a supporter from each team

West Brom returned to the automatic promotion places in a much-delayed game at The Hawthorns, sweeping aside Bristol City.

Jordan Hugill, Kyle Bartley and Karlan Grant punished woeful defending from Bristol City but four delays – two for medical emergencies after a supporter from each team was carried away in unrelated incidents and two for injuries to players – caused a 25-minute delay.

A West Brom supporter in the Halford Lane Stand was carried from the crowd on a stretcher causing kick-off to be delayed for 15 minutes. The fan was conscious and able to put his thumb up.
