Albion Under-18s were narrowly beaten by Arsenal at the Fitlife Foods Performance Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
The Baggies were downed by a fourth-minute strike from Gunners’ midfielder Maalik Hashi as they were unable to make it four wins on the bounce.
The result leaves Chay Thompson’s men seventh in the Premier League U18 South, having collected 30 points from 19 matches played - a trip to 12th-placed Norwich City is next up for the young guns - they head to East Anglia on Saturday.
Albion: Moses; Round, Aomugha, Perkins, Shaw; Iddrisa, Bastafield (Sankoh 60’), Gompe; French (Briscoe 60’), Francis-Caesar (Seven-Seven 72’), Dexter (Okorodudu 60’).
