It's a game of two halves, and games like tonight don't half remind you of that fact.

Sunderland will be frustrated to have had the game so comfortably in their hands, given their opening 45 dominance.

Yet, Carlos Corberan made a habit of making changes on the hoof and getting results at Huddersfield, and did the same tonight.

Tom Rogic and Daryl Dike added another dimension to the likes of Jed Wallace, and the trio combined to deliver three huge points for West Brom in their bid to pick themselves off the deck.

The World Cup semis continue this week of course, so keep across them with us on BBC Sport, and we'll be back in the Championship at the weekend, on Friday to be precise, with Birmingham City entertaining Reading.

Until then. Cheers for joining us. Good night.

It's a happy night for Daryl Dike who after injury so early in the campaign, his first appearance, has now returned from his thigh issues and added a precious goal.

His first in the Baggies colours. The first of many Carlos Corberan will be pinning his hopes no doubt.

Sunderland fans were baying for the spot-kick.
