Matheus Pereira has taken to social media after West Brom secured a 2-1 win against Watford on Saturday.

The Baggies took three points at The Hawthorns on 13 April as Karlan Grant and Mikey Johnston made the difference against Tom Cleverley’s side.

This was the first win five games for Tony Mowbray, who was in huge need of a positive result against the Hornets after a rough patch of form.

The victory has certainly gone down well in B71, as even fan-favourite Pereira has shared his reaction on social media after Albion’s triumph.

Pereira reacts after West Brom win v Watford

There has been no lack of frustration in the Black Country at the lack of positive results, which have dumped the Baggies out of the playoff spots.

This has come as a blow, but any issues were lessened somewhat by a much better showing and performance against Watford.

Mowbray opted for an attacking setup, with the likes of Will Lankshear and Tom Fellows being given a rare start and having a positive impact.

With that being said, it was Grant who scored the opener after just 11 minutes and sent Albion on their way to a much-needed second-tier win.

After the full-time whistle, the 27-year-old took to Instagram (12 April) to say: “Passion! A big three points at home. We needed that. Four big games to go.”

This was met by a comment from former Baggies star Pereira, who said: “Baller,” accompanied by a fire emoji.

Grant shines for West Brom again

The Englishman has been an excellent asset for Albion this campaign after spending last year on loan with Cardiff City.

Like Cedric Kipre, a spell in the Welsh capital has helped the forward to flourish and has seen the 27-year-old contribute to nine Championship goals.

His latest came against Watford in what was a positive day at The Hawthorns after weeks of frustration under Mowbray.

The Baggies will be keen to get more out of the likes of Adam Armstrong and Johnston in forward areas in a move which could help them push towards the playoffs again.
