Hal Robson-Kanu fired a strong Baggies side, that also included Wes Hoolahan, Oliver Burke, Sam Field and Tyrone Mears, in front early on when he rounded off a move involving Hoolahan and Burke with a volleyed finish.

Jordan Cox went close to levelling for a youthful Villa side with a shot just off target.

Villa pushed for an equaliser in the second half and they were rewarded when Cox found the net with a low drive past keeper Jonathan Bond.
