The Baggies have been on the wrong side of a number of results against the Old Gold in recent years.

But it was their turn to celebrate in this quarter-final tie, as they prevailed 4-2 on spot kicks, having drawn 1-1.

It was all square at the break and it remained that way until 19 minutes from time when Phoebe Warner turned on the edge of the box and fired Albion in front.

But the lead would last just five minutes - as Charlotte Greengrass leveled it up for the visitors.

The game went all the way to spot kicks and it was Albion who has the upper hand throughout.

Simran Jhamat put them ahead and Ellie May extended the lead after Anna Miller produced her first save.

Marli Rhodes then sent the keeper the wrong way, leaving it to Miller to keep out Wolves’ fourth spot kick and give the Baggies a memorable victory.
