Isaac Price scored his seventh goal of the season as West Brom eased their relegation worries with a 3-0 Championship win over play-off hopefuls Hull City at the Hawthorns at the weekend.
The 22-year-old Northern Ireland attacker rounded off an impressive display with the Baggies' third goal in injury time, and admitted he should have had more goals to his name this term.
“I’ve had so many chances this year that I could’ve definitely had 15 or 16 goals,” he told WBA TV.
“But it just hasn’t been going my way. I’ve not been clinical enough in the final third and that’s cost us in some games. To score today though means the world.”
Also among the goals over the weekend was striker Jamie Reid, whose 10th minute spot kick gave Stevenage a single-goal victory at home to AFC Wimbledon in League One.
In League Two Shayne Lavery made it two in three games as he bagged his sixth of the campaign in Cambridge United’s emphatic 5-0 victory at home to Gillingham who had Ronan Hale leading their attack.

Meanwhile, Swansea City’s Ethan Galbraith, Oxford United duo Ciaron Brown and Jamie Donley, Paul Smyth of QPR and Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles all started for their respective clubs in the Championship.

Northern Ireland international Keri Halliday took just 19 minutes to score on her debut for Motherwell Women as they beat Aberdeen 4-3 in the SWPL 1 on Sunday.
