End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FULL-TIME: Wolves 2-3 West Brom
Brilliantly entertaining game of football that was practically end-to-end throughout. Raul Jimenez was sorely missed by Wolves once more as they failed to make their 68% possession and 23 shots on goal count, but that win will serve as a massive confidence boost for West Brom and Sam Allardyce.
90'
4 minutes of added time to come! Can Wolves grab yet another equaliser?
90'
No argument there as Silva receives a yellow card for diving in the box in search of a penalty.
86'
Fantastic block from Bartley to deny Semedo! This is the level of determination Big Sam dreams about
83'
West Brom clearly trying to protect their lead now by bringing on a defender in Darnell Furlong for Pereira.

CLOSE!! Great chance for Cutrone to be the super-sub but he struggles to control his shot.
79'
Another attacking change from Wolves. This time Patrick Cutrone - recently recalled from being on loan at Fiorentina, comes on for Moutinho.

Allardyce uses his first sub as Hal Robson-Kanu replaces Grosicki, who showed flashes of what he can do today.

Bizarre substitution for Wolves as Ait-Nouri replaces captain Coady, who is being substituted for the first time ever in his Wolves career. Likely means that Saiss will move back to centre back now.

Fantastic cross from Neto but neither Silva nor Traore can get a touch on it! Even the feintest of touches would've ensured a goal for Wolves.
61'
Pereira is looking exquisite for West Brom out there. He dinks a lovely ball to Robinson in the box, but the Irish striker panics a bit and scuffs a weak shot off-target.
59'
Keen to turn things around quickly, Espirito Santo brings on Gibbs-White for Neves in an attacking switch. Gibbs-White struggled when he started as a false nine against Everton but here's another opportunity for him to prove himself after being recalled from his loan at Swansea ten days ago.

ANOTHER PENALTY TO WEST BROM!! And it's Robinson who's won it again! Grosicki plays a simple pass to him in the box, he tries to turn the defender and gets clipped in the process. Not much contact in that but VAR doesn't overturn it.
52'
GOOOAAAALLL!!! West Brom are back in it with an equaliser! O'Shea's long throw-in finds Bartley in the box. He flicks on a header to Ajayi, who loops his own header into the net to make it 2-2!

Second half has barely even started and already you can tell Silva's confidence is flowing after his goal.
Earns a corner with a wonderful piece of skill then has a shot blocked from that corner.

We're back underway with the second half!
Great stat!
Sawyers getting a lot of stick on social media but with Sam Field being on the bench despite not having fully recovered from injury according to Allardyce, West Brom's midfield options are clearly extremely limited right now.
