West Bromwich Albion 2-0 Swansea City

Bafetimbi Gomis's only Premier League goal came back in November

• Berahino scores 10th league goal of season

• West Brom secure fourth home win this term

• Gomis draws sixth blank in six starts

• Baggies one point behind Palace and Everton

West Brom moved four points clear of the Premier League relegation zone as goals from Brown Ideye and Saido Berahino secured victory over Swansea.

Ideye, who was close to joining Qatari club Al Gharafa on transfer deadline day, opened the scoring with a low shot - his second goal in two games.

He then turned provider, cutting the ball back for strike partner Berahino to slot home from 12 yards.

The result moves the Baggies up to 14th, while Swansea remain ninth.

West Brom made three changes to the side that fought back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at Burnley on Sunday. The introduction of top scorer Berahino and club record-signing Ideye from the bench was key to that turnaround and manager Tony Pulis opted to start with the strike duo at The Hawthorns.

Ideye has struggled since making a £10m move from Dinamo Kiev last summer, but he showed signs his partnership with Berahino could blossom when the duo cleverly combined to earn a corner and provide the Baggies with the first chance of the game.

Both of West Brom's goals against Burnley had also come from corners but on this occasion goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was equal to Craig Dawson's near-post flicked header and palmed away Albion's best chance of the first half.

Swansea's best threat came from hard-working lone striker Bafetimbi Gomis, who fired a difficult chance at the near post over the bar before providing Garry Monk's ponderous side with their first shot on target in the 40th minute - a volley straight at home keeper Ben Foster.

Gomis, who had spent much of the campaign as second choice to Wilfried Bony, has failed to find the net in six starts since the Ivorian's £28m move to Manchester City last month.

And while Swansea continued failed to trouble Foster after the break, West Brom's new strike pairing of Ideye and Berahino continued to threaten.

First, Berahino played in Nigerian Ideye, who swivelled on the ball and fired into the corner to open the scoring on 60 minutes.

Ideye then set up his strike partner 14 minutes later to secure all three points for West Brom, who have now lost just once in seven matches since Pulis' appointment on 1 January.

With time running out for Swansea, Gomis squandered a further chance to end his goal drought when he headed over from the penalty spot. The 29-year-old has not scored since January's FA Cup victory at Tranmere, while his only Premier League goal came in November's victory against Arsenal.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis:

"It is probably the best performance since I have been at the club, but it is only one game and we need to replicate that. We deserved the three points tonight and I don't think anyone can deny that.

"Ideye is a good lad and he has got a good attitude. He has trained well and worked hard. It didn't work out for him at first but we have given him his chance and he has taken it.

"Victor Anichebe is injured so we only have those two strikers to the end of the season, they played well today and I'm very pleased they got the goals.

"But we have midfielders that can also get goals and would be looking for the defenders to contribute too.

"The only thing we can affect is our game, so forget about the rest. If we get to 40 points we will be safe."

Swansea manager Garry Monk:

"We were very poor, we had no tempo to our game. We made them look an amazing side, that's how poor they were. But credit to West Brom, they got their two goals and deserved their win.

"We can't approach a Premier League game with this type of intensity and tempo and expect to get anything out of it. We huffed and puffed without creating anything. We lacked in all areas today.

"It is my job to make sure complacency doesn't creep in. We are in a position where we can achieve stuff we haven't done before in this league.

"It is my job to get us to bounce back. We have a tough game next against Manchester United. Standards have to be raised and we have to do it consistently until the end of the season."
