Dawson celebrates West Brom landmark

While Baggies fans celebrated a rare 4-0 victory on Monday night, defender Craig Dawson had extra reason to smile as he reached his 100th Premier League appearance.

As well as the win pushing West Brom up to ninth in the Premier League, Monday was day the 26-year-old made his 57th consecutive start in the league for his club.

It hasn’t always been plain sailing for the defender who joined the Baggies from Rochdale back in 2010, was initially loaned back to the club before a spell at Bolton.

He eventually broke into the West Brom first team in the 2014/15 season, where he made 30 appearances, and has been an ever-present in the side ever since.

“It’s taken a while to reach 100 Premier League appearances,” he said.  “It’s a great achievement.

“It was a great performance from everyone and the lads worked ever so hard.

“To get a goal would’ve been nice but I’m happy with the three points.

“We have had some good performances this season without getting the results but there have been two good performances on the bounce now.

“Hopefully we can have a good week in training and make it three on Saturday at Hull.”
