1,972 North End fans made the trip to the Hawthorns, with the Baggies’ fans also selling out the home ends for the final game of the calendar year for both sides.
In the end, a double from Okay Yokuslu gave Carlos Corberan’s side all three points and sent Preston tumbling down the Championship table but they were well backed all the same.
Here are our best pictures from the night…
