Welcome to LIVE coverage of the Premier League game between West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham at The Hawthorns.

Yacob fouls Defoe just a yard outside the WBA box, and this is a really dangerous opportunity for Spurs from the free-kick.

Yacob leaves the foot in on Vertonghen who yelps as he goes down, but doesn't actually milk it. The WBA man is perhaps lucky to escape a booking. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why players pretend to be injured. I guarantee that if he's stayed down it would have been yellow.

England manager Roy Hodgson is in the crowd today - he knows the Hawthorns well, of course, from his time as Albion manager.

Corner from the Tottenham right... caught easily by Foster.

Dempsey drills a low shot wide. He appeals for a corner but ref Mark Clattenburg says the ball did not take a touch.

Away come Tottenham on the break, and again it's Bale... he burns past Popov, who is having a bit of a torrid time, and stands up an cross that nobody can meet.

Great work again from Lloris at the corner - he comes well out of his goal to punch one-handed. These foreign keepers, eh?

Dembele lets the ball run out for a goal kick... but the ball obviously takes a touch off him as the linesman signals for a corner.

Dorrans has looked very lively early on. The Scottish international having a much greater impact this season than last.

Walker scrambles a ball away for a throw on the WBA left... Spurs under some pressure.

Long! Hits a shot from a tight angle on the left... good save from Lloris, who came out and made himself an imposing presence. Great ball from Dorrans to set him up.

Dembele tries his luck from 25 yards, but slashes the ball high and wide.

The game has slowed down a little bit after the flowing start.

From Infostrada: 'West Brom start with only one player from England – goalkeeper Ben Foster. West Brom are the only PL club yet to have an English goalscorer this season. The last PL club to go a whole season without a single English scorer was Fulham in 2005-06.'

Defoe chases a through ball... Foster races out to whack the ball away! Good, alert goalkeeping from the West Bromwich man.

Outswinging corner from the Tottenham right... and it's Lukaku who makes the defensive header.

Assou Ekotto crosses from the left, headed away by Olsson.

Amusing from @stevefreeth: "No Odemwingie ruins the chance of a possible 'Dempsey & Makepeace' headline"

Dembele tries to thread a through ball to Dempsey in the box - just too much pace on the pass.

Popov looks down the left channel for Lukaku who attempts to overpower Kyle Walker physically. He does so, but concedes a free-kick in the process.

It has been a good start from the home team here - bold, enterprising stuff.
