W. BROM. ALBION 1, MIDDLESBr. 0
Danny Dichio's strike gave West Brom some badly needed points, the tall striker taking advantage of some poor Middlesbro defending to fire home the winner 18 minutes from the end of a tense game.
Middlesbrough were poor, although Noel Whelan hit the bar, and they also lost striker Joseph-Desire Job with a nasty head injury after he collided with West Brom's barrel-chested stopper Darren Moore.
