West Bromwich Albion were in action against Leeds United last night, and seemingly had some support from one of their former players.

The Baggies went to Elland Road as Championship leaders, and were hoping to end the night on top too – but sadly slipped to defeat in West Yorkshire.

Ezgjan Alioski’s first half strike proved to be the winner for Leeds as they claimed a 1-0 victory, leapfrogging West Brom and taking top spot.

That’s the first Championship defeat Slaven Bilic has suffered, and he will be hoping to see his side bounce back against Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.

Interestingly, there was a familiar face in the crowd for West Brom, as one fan posted a photo alongside Everton defender Mason Holgate at Elland Road.

The 22-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom, and with no Everton game last night, decided to head back to support his former side.

As a Yorkshireman, he’ll have no doubt loved heading over to Leeds, and West Brom fans loved seeing him cheer on the Baggies in such a big game.

Sadly, he didn’t see a victory, but Holgate still has West Brom in his heart – and Baggies fans would surely love to see him come back one day.
