John Swift continues to shine as 91% statistic emerges in West Brom 0-0 draw v Bristol City
Carlos Corberan’s West Brom left Ashton Gate hugely frustrated as they drew 0-0 with Bristol City in their Championship clash.
Neither club found a way to score in the nervy league encounter on Saturday (16 September), much to the frustration of both sets of fans.
Baggies manager Corberan can, however, take some positives from the match, including the performance from winger John Swift.
He went into the match full of confidence, having found the back of the net three times from his first five league matches.
And while he couldn’t continue his goalscoring form against Bristol City, he did still impress in other areas during his 83 minutes on the pitch.
As per SofaScore, the attacker completed 39 of his 43 passes, representing a 91% pass success rate. Moreover, five of his passes were key, well ahead of any other player, while Swift was also accurate with his three long balls.
Additionally, the Baggies ace chipped in defensively with two interceptions and one tackle, helping his club keep an important clean sheet.
Swift’s performance earned him a match rating of 7.7, bettered only by Bristol City’s Kal Naismith (7.8), as per SofaScore.
With the fixtures coming thick and fast, Corberan will be relying on his winger to keep up the good work, with a tough trip to Watford up next, with that clash scheduled for Vicarage Road on Wednesday (20 September).
That looks set to be a very intriguing battle, with both clubs on eight points after their first six matches, with two wins, two draws and two losses.
