Rondon sends West Brom into round four

Salomon Rondon scored the only goal as West Brom overcame a stubborn Bristol City at the second time of asking to reach the FA Cup fourth round.

The Baggies' record signing finished coolly from close range after chesting down a Craig Dawson cross in the box.

It was the one moment of quality during a game in which both sides wasted decent scoring opportunities

Tony Pulis' Premier League side will face League Two Peterborough at the Hawthorns in round four.
