"Heggebo lashed an effort over the bar on the stroke of half-time, but broke the deadlock just five minutes after the break as he found himself unmarked at the near post from George Campbell's cross and the Norwegian placed the ball past Michael Cooper. He then turned provider just after the hour mark, playing Grant through on goal, and the latter managed to hold off the defender before unleashing a powerful strike which went in off the crossbar."
"Data Debrief: Home comforts for the Baggies Despite a below-par first half, it was a well-deserved victory for West Brom. Their 15 shots were worth 2.46 expected goals (xG), while Sheff United produced 1.05 from their 10 attempts. It was a big shift from Heggebo in attack, with the 24-year-old recording the shot touches in the box for his side (five), creating the second-most chances (two), contesting the most duels (16) and winning 100% of his tackles (2/2)."
West Brom recorded a 2-0 win over Sheffield United at The Hawthorns, extending their home unbeaten run to seven matches.

Sheffield United threatened early through Gustavo Hamer but missed clear chances, with Joe Wildsmith making a key save. West Brom registered 15 shots with 2.46 xG to Sheffield United's 10 attempts and 1.05 xG. Heggebo led several attacking metrics for the hosts.
