The Baggies had now kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Premier League games. Tony Pulis had now won two of his 13 Premier League matches as a manager against Chelsea (nine defeats). The first victory was when Crystal Palace won 1-0 on 29 March 2014. The Baggies had now scored 4,500 all-time top-flight goals.

Comments:

League position: 1st This defeat ended champions Chelsea’s unbeaten run of 16 Premier League matches (11 wins). This was the longest unbeaten run in the division in this season. By not scoring, Chelsea failed to improve on their tally of 37 Premier League away goals for the season. A tally that equalled their club record first set in 2004-05. This was only their third Premier League defeat of the season. Eden Hazard made his 100th Premier League start. Jose Mourinho had now lost a Premier League game by three goals for only the second time. The first was inflicted by a 3-0 Middlesbrough win on 11 February 2006. West Brom's James Morrison was in the Middlesbrough line-up for that match as was John Terry was in Chelsea’s team. Saido Berahino's penalty was the 100th goal in Chelsea's Premier League matches in 2014-15 (70 for and 30 against).
