    Matt Phillips

    Game over. Matt Phillips has been threatening a goal all game and eventually scores. He plays a neat one-two with Darren Fletcher before going on to send a lovely left-footed shot low into the bottom corner.

  3. RED CARD - Roberto Pereyrapublished at 81 mins

    West Brom 2-1 Watford

    West Brom are being forced into some last-ditch defending here as keeper Ben Foster again comes to their rescue. 

    Shortly after the two sets of players clash after James McClean kicks the ball into Roberto Pereyra and runs into the floored midfielder. Pereyra reacts angrily, causing a melee, and - after the dust has settled - gets his marching orders. McClean gets a yellow for his part.

    Watford down to 10 men.

    West Brom 2-1 Watford

    Plenty of possession for Watford so far in the second half - and they have a goal to show for it.

    One more needed for the Hornets, though.

    Christian Kabasele

    West Brom keeper Ben Foster is at his acrobatic best to tip a header from team-mate Gareth McAuley over the bar. From the resulting corner, Troy Deeney plays the ball back across the box and Christian Kabasele is on hand to sidefoot in. Game on.

    The most important thing for West Brom is they are consistently scoring goals now. You know you'll get a resolute performance but now you're getting goals. I think there's more goals there for them today.

    West Brom 2-0 Watford

    West Brom striker Salomon Rondon, who looks like he is having his arm held by Christian Kabasele, fails to get the right contact with a cross as he fails to get his shot on target just before an Etienne Capoue tackle denies Chris Brunt at the far post at the end of another Baggies attack.

    Stefano Okaka is having a bit of a rough time of it up top for Watford. His touches have come in very harmless positions, and just one of his four attempted passes in the first half has been successful.

    How important are set plays? It was a well-worked free-kick with great movement, though the wicked deflection was harsh on Watford. The Hornets now have it all to do.
