West Brom head coach Ryan Mason saluted match-winner Jayson Molumby after his side recovered from 2-0 down to beat Swansea 3-2 in their Sky Bet Championship clash at The Hawthorns.
Irish international Molumby, back from suspension after a red card against Coventry last week, struck after 85 minutes after Norway striker Aune Heggebo’s double had dragged his side level.
Struggling Swansea had rocked Albion with two goals in the first 11 minutes.
Molumby celebrated his winner by sprinting to Mason in the technical area and embracing the head coach.
“He cares so much,” said Mason. “You can see that every day in training and he is so invested in this group and this club.
“But I would much rather that and have players making mistakes from a place of honesty and a real desire to help.
“I know Jayson respects me and the feeling is mutual. I love him as a person and he has a massive heart and works so hard.
“I’m pleased for him but especially for the group because everyone put so much work in.”
Elsewhere in the second tier, Coventry’s red-hot form continued with a 3-2 win at home to Charllton while Millwall also held off Southampton by the same score at the Den.
Middlesborough beat Derby by the odd goal in three at the Riverside, Norwich were 3-1 victors at home to QPR while Preston scored a 3-2 away win over Sheffield Wednesday.
Wrexham and Blackburn finished a goal apiece and there was another 3-2 scoreline as Sheffield United left Leicester with all three points. Bristol City won 1-0 at Portsmouth while Hull also scored on the road with a 2-1 win at Stoke.
