FT: Arsenal 2-0 West Brom. Another home win against Pulis for Arsenal, although this one wasn't quite as simple as the scoreline may suggest. The second half was easy going though and two more goals for Lacazette is a good sign moving forward.
Maitland-Niles on for Ramsey.

In stopping a corner Dawson give the ball straight to Ramsey but he wastes the chance, sending in a poor cross.
Three addded minutes.
Chance for Xhaka but he shoots over from the edge of the box.
Dawson makes a smart defensive header to clear a cross, but this isn't great from the Baggies. Feels like they've accepted 2-0.
Sanchez also makes way - to warm applause - for Ozil.

The matchwinner in this fixture last season, Giroud, replaces the likely matchwinner tonight, Lacazette.

Right on cue Bellerin comes close, collecting a short corner and unleashing a fierce shot that's deflected just over.
If either team is to score, it feels much more like being Arsenal.
Dawson comes through the back of Sanchez - not a pretty tackle - and is very fortunate not to receive a second yellow card. The home fans aren't impressed.
Hegazy is limping slightly but is soldiering on.
Phillips is quickly involved, crossed firmly from the right, but Cech claims.
Phillips replaces Nyom as Pulis has one last roll of the dice.

Rodriguez comes close to putting Rondon through on goal, but the Vemezuelan ends up being crowded out.
Lacazette takes down Sanchez's crossfield ball beautifully and rounds Foster but then slices wide from a very tight angle.
Nyom was also booked for the foul. The Baggies have it all to do now.
Yellow card
A. Nyom
GOAL! Lacazette expertly dispatches the spot kick, sending it low to the goalkeeper's left and past Foster, who guessed right.
Penalty
A. Lacazette
PENALTY! Ramsey turns away from Nyom, does him for pace and just as he enters the box is bundled over. That one was easy for the ref.
