At the other end of the division, Wigan Athletic picked up an important point with a 96th minute equaliser against Cardiff City in South Wales to keep their survival hopes alive.
Will Keane grabbed the vital goal for Kolo Toure’s side in the dying seconds of the game to cancel out Callum O'Dowda’s 82nd minute opener for the hosts, who would have moved five points clear of the bottom three if they’d held on to their lead.
Huddersfield Town, who accompany the Latics in the relegation zone, were denied an important three points away at Hull City, with the hosts snatching a leveller in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
Rotherham United, who thrashed Blackburn Rovers 4-0 at the New York Stadium, and Bristol City, who beat Birmingham City 4-2 at Ashton Gate, were the only sides currently occupying the bottom half of the table to claim victories.
Meanwhile, Swansea City’s 3-1 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light pushed Russell Martin’s men into 11th spot, and to within three points of the top six.
Here’s this week’s SkyBet Championship Team of the Week, headed by Baggies’ boss Carlos Corberan, following their incredible turnaround versus Luton Town in a five-goal thriller at Kenilworth Road.
