Matheus Pereira and Callum Robinson both netted braces while Mbaye Diagne was also on target as the Baggies smashed Thomas Tuchel's side 5-2.

The hosts took the lead just before the half-hour mark through Christian Pulisic and then saw Thiago Silva sent off just moments later.

But that should take nothing away from Albion's outstanding display with the Baggies scoring five outstanding goals to deservedly win the game.

The result means, with eight matches left to play, Allardyce's men sit seven points from safety with the Baggies next in action against Southampton a week on Monday.
