Baggies in goal feast as they beat Scunthorpe.

Published

16.43: Craig Beattie puts the icing on the cake for The Hawthorns faithful when he makes it 5-0.

16.40: Gera's right-footed shot puts Albion 4-0 up and they're heading for a comfortable win.

16.28: Phillips won't be getting a hat-trick as he is replaced by Craig Beattie as Tony Mowbray looks to give his star striker a break.

16.21: Phillips misses a penalty after Albion old boy Joe Murphy brings Ishmael Miller down. Difficult to know why Murphy wasn't shown a red card.

16.15: Kevin Phillips makes it 3-0 with his 15th of the season as he lobbed the keeper from the edge of the penalty area.

15.47: It's looking awfully good for Albion as Robert Koren puts the home side 2-0 up.

15.45: Marcus Williams sent off for Scunny after a foul on Zoltan Gera.

15.41: More good news for Albion as Watford go 3-0 down against QPR.

15.38: Kevin Phillips puts Baggies on top with a blinding volley from 13 yards out for his 14th goal of the season. Will it be a question of how many now?

15.34: Still 0-0 but Albion on top and Phillips was only denied by a great save from Scunthorpe keeper Joe Murphy.

15.30: The Baggies may not be able to break the duck but their fans should be cheered by the news from Vicarage Road where QPR have gone 2-0 up against second-placed Watford.

15.21: Scunthorpe are playing fairly high up the pitch and Kevin Phillips has already fallen foul of their offside trap on a couple of occassions.

15.10: Baggies on top early on with the majority of possession. How long will it be before they can convert their pressure into a goal?

14.13: Early team news from The Hawthorns and no changes for Albion. Teixeira and Brunt return to the bench.

Albion: Kiely, Hoefkens, Pele, Cesar, Robinson, Greening, Koren, Gera, Morrison, Phillips, Bednar.

Subs: Miller, Albrechtsen, Beattie, Teixeira, Brunt.

14.00: Three points expected this afternoon - and another goal glut is possible.

A couple of big decisions for Tony Mowbray, whether to bring back Filipe Teixeira and Chris Brunt and who to start upfront? Any views Baggies fans?
