West Bromwich Albion picked up another impressive victory to move into the top three in the Championship.

A number of West Brom fans have taken to Twitter to laud Ahmed Hegazi and suggest that he put in his best performance of the season in the 2-0 win against Millwall on Saturday.

The Baggies are now in the top three in the Championship after goals from Dwight Gayle and Kieran Gibbs saw off the Lions at The Hawthorns. Darren Moore’s men have now won four of their last five games in all competitions.

And while the goals will please Moore, the retired defender is likely to be just as delighted with the fact that the Baggies have kept their first clean sheet in the league this season.

The regular back three of Craig Dawson, Kyle Bartley and Hegazi have taken some time to gel as a unit, and some may have been concerned in midweek after a shaky defensive display allowed Bristol City to set up a slightly nervy finish after West Brom initially took a 3-0 lead.

Hegazi’s form has been a particular concern, but many fans were quick to praise the centre-back following his performance against Neil Harris’ side.

Many felt that he hardly put a foot wrong during the contest, and are optimistic that he is edging back towards the impressive form that he showed for much of last season despite the side’s struggles.
