James Ward-Prowse's corner is flicked away by Kyle Bartley. Darnell Furlong then puts a decent challenge in on the left as Southampton look to build another attack.

Eventually Southampton are pushed all the way back to Fraser Forster. Strong pressing from West Brom.

Southampton keep the ball well and move through the gears. It comes to Nathan Redmond on the right but he switches it back across.

Patient.

Iain: West Brom are playing with the laissez-faire of a side that's already been relegated. Maybe Big Sam can do a Nigel Pearson after all?

Off we go again. Any response from Southampton?

There were just 179 seconds between the two West Brom goals.

Opta put "that stood" in brackets at the end of that stat... Shady.

Former West Brom player Kevin Campbell says "I've had enough of VAR" and I think that sums up a real British mood.

Good job the pubs are open again today.

West Brom had 13 shots in the first half against Southampton, last attempting more in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League game in February 2012 vs Wolves (16).

Brilliant half from West Brom. They should be more than 2-0 up, both through chances and another weird VAR decision.

Southampton's team bus has yet to arrive.

James Ward-Prowse's corner is headed away by Kyle Bartley. Danny Ings is down in the box but Southampton play on before the referee eventually blows the whistle.

Danny Ings is caught late by Okay Yokuslu to win a free-kick but he's back in the Southampton half.

Big team talk coming up from Ralph Hasenhuttl. Might be a bit, er, shouty.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been very good. He gets through a few challenges in the middle and wins a free-kick as he pokes it into Callum Robinson.

Ryan Betrand gets in behind on the left but Danny Ings can't get to the cross before Sam Johnstone at the front post.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles tries to slip in Mbaye Diagne but it's intercepted near the edge of the box.

When West Brom went a goal down at Chelsea on 3 April, it looked like they were certain to go down.

Since then, they have scored seven goals in less than 90 minutes and are on their way to collecting six points.

Still a lot of work to do but Sam Allardyce is getting a tune out of his players.

West Brom have scored seven goals in their last two Premier League games, one more than they had netted in their previous 11 combined (6).

Matheus Pereira, to Conor Townsend... Deflected out for a corner.

Stuart Armstrong slides in Danny Ings. He tries to find Theo Walcott but it floats past him.

West Brom have been excellent so far. Can they add another before half time?
