The goals of Mathem Mathus Cunha and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde gave the Black Country outfit from crucial three-point to ward off the descent.
Tottenham’s wish for a new central defender was well documented.
Spurs had made progress with Milan’s defender Fikayo Tomori, but the former Chelsea star decided to stay in Italy.

Should Danso’s move to Tottenham come into play, this would mark a return to England, as he started his career at Reading and MK at Akademie and a loan magic in Southampton in the 2019/20 season.
The Austrian international joined the Bundesliga outfit Augsburg in 2014 and competed in all competitions for the club.
He went for Lens in the summer of 2021 and quickly made himself an important member of the team.
Danso made almost 130 players for the French side, six of whom came in the Champions League last season.
Danso’s appearances for Lens were so impressive, Manchester United Great Rio Ferdinand recommended him to his former employers and said: “The boy in Lens, there is one, he is good.”
Danso will offer POSTECOGLOU some urgently needed defensive reinforcements that are largely forced to bring square pins in round holes to find a backline.

Cristian Romero is still a thigh injury, while the other central defender Radu Dragusin was searched on Thursday in the Europa League via Elfsborg in the 3-0 victory in Tottenham in the Europa League against Elfsborg.
It was worrying that Postecoglou could not offer a timeline for Dragusin’s return.
Fortunately for Postecoglou, Star Center-Back Micky van de Ven made the first half against Elfsborg, which was unscathed after his return.
