    We've seen the fastest goal of the Premier League season - but not much else.

    Newcastle 1-0 West Brom

    Conor Gallagher is West Brom's most threatening player. He's free inside the penalty area again but his latest attempt cannons off a Newcastle shirt and out for a corner.

    Newcastle 1-0 West Brom

    Big moment and how big a miss will that prove for West Brom?

    Newcastle get themselves into a mess at the back trying to clear a cross and the ball drops invitingly for Conor Gallagher who drills through the legs of Jono Shelvey but it's just wide.

    There's freshness, zip and energy from Newcastle. The enforced 15-day break from action has helped them.

    Closing the training ground has worked wonders for NUFC. Can Bruce work from home permanently?!

    Joelinton starting to thrive when not played as the main striker.Hopefully the confidence will build in him.

    Newcastle 1-0 West Brom

    It's taken 37 minutes but West Brom finally have an attempt on target, Karl Darlow down to gather a shot from distance by Matt Phillips.

    West Brom are not out of this by any means. Steve Bruce will be slightly irritated his side have not pushed on after their fantastic start.

    West Brom are getting frustrated. There is a coming together between Darnell Furlong and Jamal Lewis and the referee shows both players a yellow card for dissent.

    Great work by Newcastle.

    They win a free-kick just inside their own half and Matt Ritchie takes it quickly. It realises Joelinton who does well to dig out a shot which Sam Johnstone turns behind for a corner.

    One minute of drama. Twenty-nine minutes of little else. This game in a nutshell.

    Steve Bruce judging by his body language is fairly comfortable with this, looking at his back four they're all set, they're okay they're not being caused many problems. Yes, West Brom can have the ball they can play they can do what they want but as long as Newcastle can defend that goal third they'll be okay.

    It's Newcastle's turn to string together a few pretty passes. You can see why these two sides have not scored many this season. Newcastle have the lead but they need to be more ruthless.

    West Brom go 1-0 down early in the game, they have worked their way back into it, they are having a lot of the ball but don't do much with it. It is like they are happy to keep the ball as though 10-12 touches gives you a goal.

    That's awful. A promising West Brom move breaks down after Darnell Furlong fails to control a straight forward pass. West Brom are enjoying lots of possession but Newcastle still look the more threatening side.

    It looks like the enforced covid break has been good for Brucie's boys. NUFC playing some excellent front foot football! Love it!

    This is better from the Baggies. They're enjoying perhaps their best spell of pressure but they still cannot test Karl Darlow who is enjoying a pretty comfortable shift. Matt Phillips manages to get a shot away but the less said about his attempt the better.

    Free-kick to West Brom about 25 yards out. Karlan Grant is going to have a pop but Newcastle's black and white wall does its job and it's deflected behind for a corner.

    When West Brom lose the ball it's a back five at times and it's quite flat. The midfield three are getting stretched across the park, that's why it's so easy. At the minute West Brom need to be a bit braver off the ball and press a bit higher because the midfield three can't cope with the midfield four of Newcastle.

    Miguel Almiron's goal after 19.98 seconds is Newcastle's second fastest in Premier League history, after Alan Shearer scored in 10.52 seconds against Man City in January 2003.

    Steve Bruce is on the touchline shouting orders. He wants his team to kick-on after a superb start.

    Miguel Almiron is a real live wire. He scampers into the West Brom half and manages to test Sam Johnstone. It's a comfortable save.
