Peter Gilbert’s youngsters couldn’t overcome Reading and secure consecutive triumphs in the U18 Premier League, as Albion fell to defeat at the Bearwood Park Training Facility.
Goals from Caylan Vickers and Harrison Furlong either side of the halfway mark were enough to edge past the young Baggies, who had midfielder Mackenzie Lamb sent off 15 minutes from time.
