Comments:

The Potters scored three goals in a Premier League game for the first time since a 3-1 win against Hull City on 15 April 2017. Joe Allen Allen scored his first goal in the Premier League in 30 appearances since scoring against Crystal Palace on 11 February 2017.

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion were now without a win in their last 17 league games; the longest such run in the club's history. The Baggies became the first team to complete a run of 17 or more games in the Premier League without a win since Aston Villa in January 2016 (19). They had now scored two goals in their last five games in the Premier League.
