Two things struck me about West Brom today. Firstly, the impact of some of Alan Irvine's new boys - left-back Sebastien Pocognoli laid the platform for success with his marauding runs down the flank while Cristian Gamboa picked up an assist when he came on as a late substitute. In the centre of defence, Joleon Lescott was an absolute colossus.

West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt: "We have good self belief and confidence to win games - we showed that today. The manager (Alan Irvine) has come in and got us organised and playing in the right way. We have a big squad of players and a good team spirit. From the start of this season we've been right on it."

West Brom forward Saido Berahino, speaking to Sky Sports: "We were on it from the start. It just shows how good this group is. I just try to do my best, I managed to contribute with a couple of goals and I felt good. We have stuck together throughout this period and our results are paying off. We have to focus on Liverpool away now and make sure we get something there. But it has been a great week. Three wins."

Quality stuff from the Baggies then, who move up to 10th in the table, above both Liverpool and Everton to name but two.

"The referee calls full-time to save Burnley any more embarrassment. Albion played well. Burnley and Sean Dyche will be disappointed not just with the scoreline but the opportunities they did not take and most of all the way Albion dominated the midfield. Burnley were second best from start to finish. They are going to find life difficult in the Premier League."

West Brom's perfect afternoon - a dominant performance against a Burnley side who slump to the bottom of the Premier League table.

"Good running off the ball and the pace of Cristian Gamboa made that goal. The pass was good, and he cut Burnley right open.

"A 4-0 scoreline tells the story of the match. Burnley could have had goals in the second half, things have maybe not gone for them, but since the first goal they have been on the back foot."

Lovely stuff from the Baggies, who make it four when Georgios Samaras plays a neat ball down the right for Cristian Gamboa who pulls the ball back for Graham Dorrans and the Scottish midfielder drills home a low shot.

Ben Mee's miserable afternoon is complete as he goes into the book for tugging at Graham Dorrans's shirt.

Craig Gardner departs the action to rapturous applause, to be replaced by Claudio Yacob.

"There has been very little come through from Burnley in midfield. That has been the biggest disappointment for me. I know they have problems up front but there has been no build-up play today."

Two shots which encapsulate Burnley's afternoon - George Boyd's effort is charged down and Michael Kightly's follow-up sails harmlessly over the bar.

West Brom make a change at full-back as Sebastien Pocognoli comes off for Cristian Gamboa.

Good work, Alexander. Now let's get one of those songs echoing round The Hawthorns.

Standby for some cracking shouts for Alan Irvine ditties...

West Brom are running Burnley ragged now - Graham Dorrans driving into the penalty area and pushing back Ben Mee before unfurling a shot which finds the side-netting.

West Brom manager Alan Irvine decides it's time to save Stephane Sessegnon for future battles, sending on Georgios Samaras in his place.

Martin McHugh:, external Each goal West Brom score now will lift them a position in the table.

The Baggies, in 11th place as it stands, can move into seventh above Manchester United with four more goals.

I feel like I'm kicking them while they are down, but Burnley are now bottom of the Premier League following that third West Brom goal.

Sorry, Clarets fans.
