The Baggies are currently on the verge of the European places with their attacking pair are in sensational form.
West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt has told BBC Radio 5Live that Matt Phillips and Salomon Rondon are both major factors in their ascent up the Premier League table.
Brunt, Phillips and Jonny Evans were all on the score sheet as the Baggies sealed a third win in four top flight games with a comfortable 3-1 win against Watford at The Hawthorns, lifting West Brom to the heady heights of sixth.
Central to that impressive run of form have been the impact of old-school centre-forward Rondon (below) and electric wide man Phillips, the attacking duo providing four goals between them in West Brom’s last four games.
And Brunt, who was himself outstanding against the Hornets on Saturday, says the contribution of the forward and the winger cannot be understated.
“It’s nosebleed territory!” Brunt told Jonathan Overand on BBC Radio 5Live, broadcast at 12:00pm on 4 December.
“Phillips been really good the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen in pre-season what he’s all about and, obviously, when you come to a new club you need time to settle but he took his goal really well yesterday.
“Salomon is brilliant, he’s done really well since he signed coming into a new league as a foreign player.
“He probably doesn’t get as many goals as his play deserves but if we didn’t have him up there our results would not be as positive as they would be.”
Phillips returned to the Premier League this summer after standing out in the top flight with QPR a few seasons ago and is slowly adding consistency to his undoubted talent, with his pace and directness crucial to a side based on a solid defence.
Meanwhile, Rondon has stepped up his performances this season after showing glimpses of his talent in his debut season in English football after arriving from Zenit, although West Brom fans will know that it will become increasingly difficult to keep hold of him if he continues to bully top flight defenders on a weekly basis.
