West Brom manager James Morrison is refusing to get carried away after lifting the Baggies five points clear of the Championship relegation zone.

Josh Maja and Daryl dike scored in their comfortable 2-0 win at Preston to extend their unbeaten run to eight games, but Morrison insists they are not safe yet.

He told BBC Radio WM: "You never know with this league, what it can come up with, what it can give you because it's full of surprises.

"We'll enjoy the moment and then we're back in tomorrow. The player have got to work, we can't get away from the end goal."

Morrison was delighted with West Brom's display at Deepdale and said: "It was magical really. The performance that we gave was a typical away performance, a clean sheet and two goals from our strikers tops it off really.

"It was a performance where we were under pressure, but I didn't feel played with that pressure. I'm really pleased for them, all the hard work they have given us. Then the scenes at the end with the fans, it was a good afternoon's work.

"Everyone was working for each other. You could see when they had the ball, we had twos and threes around them. We were winning tackles and duels, so I'm very pleased with everyone because it was a good performance."
