Comments:

Crystal Palace had now won only one of their last nine season openers at Selhurst Park (lost four). The Eagles had now lost 13 of their 20 Premier League games played in 2016 (won two). Palace had now gained only 11 Premier League points in 2016 - fewer than any other club in the 2016-17 top division line-up. Martin Kelly replaced Pape Souare in the third minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

West Bromwich Albion's last 11 Premier League wins had now all been by a single goal margin. The Baggies had now scored 54 goals in 57 Premier League games under former Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis. This was Albion's first away win on the opening weekend of a league season since 25 August 1973 when they won 3-2 at Blackpool in League Division Two (played 22). [c/o Sky Sports Statto].
