# West Brom: Fans praise Filip Krovinovic after he scores the opener against Millwall

**West Brom took a huge stride forward in their promotion push after they overcame Millwall with a very impressive 2-0 victory at The Den.**

After promotion rivals Fulham, Brentford and Nottingham Forest all won on Saturday to close the gap at the top, there was a lot of pressure on the Baggies to respond. They and Leeds have faltered since the New Year and have surrendered much of their lead at the top as a result, but several players stepped up for the visitors on Sunday and the team now has a [four-point](https://www.skysports.com/championship-table) buffer to third-placed Fulham.

Slaven Bilic should be delighted with his players as it is only Millwall’s [third home defeat](https://www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england2) this term, particularly Filip Krovinovic, who displayed brilliant skill and technique to curl in the opener for the visitors. That was one of [29 shots](https://www.skysports.com/football/millwall-vs-w-brom/stats/409714) from West Brom, who showed they still possess a fierce attacking threat when Grady Diangana is unavailable, and that shows the strength of their promotion bid.

A [third clean sheet in four games](https://www.skysports.com/west-bromwich-albion-results) is always cause for delight but fans have concentrated on one figure in their praise – Krovinovic. Here are some of the things being said about the midfielder.

> What a player, just what we've needed. A player to step up in the absence of diang and periera and hes been outstanding. Fully deserves the plaudits and his spot in the side

> Our most important win of the season, when the pressure is on, you have to step up and we did..\
> Krovinovic displayed delicious calmeness and technique, the Jan window looks great with Robinson and Grosicki looking great signings, and O’Shea’s performances have been fantastic..
