Tireless Salomon Rondon impresses by can’t deny Chelsea title

West Brom manager Tony Pulis feels that West Brom will be disappointed they didn’t take a point during their defeat to Chelsea.

A late goal from substitute Michy Batshuayi secured a win at the Hawthorns and sealed the Premier League title for Chelsea.
West Brom ended their home season with a fourth consecutive 1-0 loss, with Michy Batshuayi’s late goal enough to secure Chelsea the Premier League title at The Hawthorns. West Brom were far from outplayed and were in the game throughout, defending well and looking dangerous on the counter attack. However as has been the case in this late part of the season, Tony Pulis’ side lacked quality in the final third to get what they deserved from the game.

Rondon ends scoring drought to help West Brom secure draw at Burnley

After an entertaining second half, Sam Vokes’ late equaliser gave Burnley a deserved draw against West Brom.

West Brom ended a five-game goal drought, and four-game losing streak, with a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday. While it was a much-needed point for Tony Pulis’ side after their recent run, it was hardly a turning point in terms of performance. Until they went 1-0 down, West Brom looked short of ideas, pace and creativity, seemingly content to see the game out 0-0 to break their losing run.

Salomon Rondon’s low confidence proves costly for West Brom

Jamie Vardy’s first half goal against West Brom sealed a narrow 1-0 win for Leicester City.

West Brom’s recent inability to score is weighing on Tony Pulis, as well as how they were caught out by Jamie Vardy.

Jamie Vardy once again scored at The Hawthorns in Leicester’s 1-0 win over West Brom.
West Brom made it five games in a row without a goal as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to champions Leicester City at The Hawthorns. In truth, there was very little in the game between two sides who have little to play for, with the result being settled by a terrible pass back from Salomon Rondon that Jamie Vardy capitalised on. After such a fine spell of home form, West Brom’s recent displays have been disappointing and it would be a shame for the season to end on a low.

Man United lost pace with the top four following a dismal performance at Old Trafford against WBA.
West Brom put in a defensive masterclass against Manchester United at Old Trafford to secure a 0-0 draw. While Jose Mourinho criticised West Brom after the game, there will surely be a part of him that, begrudgingly, respected the discipline and organisation of the defensive effort put in by Tony Pulis’ side. It was a fantastic start to a week which contains three fixtures, that could potentially take West Brom to their record Premier League tally.

Everton moved to within two points of the top six with an easy win over West Brom at Goodison Park.
West Brom put in one of their most disappointing performances of the season as they surrendered meekly to a 3-0 defeat against Everton, the team one place above Tony Pulis’ side in the table. West Brom rarely threatened Everton, who were given almost free reign to attack with Hal Robson-Kanu left horribly isolated up front in a rare start for the Welshman. It is a worrying sign that since hitting 40 points, Pulis’ team have put in two of their worst performances in the losses to Crystal Palace and…

West Brom robbed West Ham of a thrilling home victory when Gareth McAuley put in a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser.

West Brom had a pair of diverging halves says Tony Pulis, and credits Slaven Bilic for his side’s tactical changes.
Jonny Evans grabbed an injury-time equaliser on his return to first team action to secure West Brom a point in their first visit to the London Stadium. Tony Pulis’ men took the lead early on through Nacer Chadli but were then on the back foot for the majority of the game. This wasn’t helped by Pulis’ decision to go on the defensive early in the second half, when West Ham’s change in formation was leaving plenty of space for his side to exploit if the right personnel remained on the pitch.

Fernando Llorente was exceptional in Saturday’s win vs. Liverpool. He’s not the only old-school striker thriving.

After the 2015-16 season saw the greatest shock in the history of English football with Leicester City winning the title, there have been very few surprises in 2016-17. Of course, another unlikely champion wasn’t on the cards; we probably aren’t even going to have an outsider battling for the Champions League places either. But more interestingly, we haven’t had any real shocks in one-off matches either.

Until Saturday.

English Premier League: Chris Brunt (36′) West Brom 2-0 Sunderland
West Brom secured their fifth home win in six games with a routine victory over Sunderland at The Hawthorns. It was an immediate return to form for Tony Pulis’ side after their poor performance last week in the 4-0 defeat to Spurs, and the Welshman will undoubtedly be just as pleased to see his back four keep a clean sheet as he will be with the two fantastic goals from Darren Fletcher and Chris Brunt that gave West Brom the win.

Mauricio Pochettino admitted Jan Vertonghen’s injury looks very bad after he was forced off against West Brom.
West Brom are eighth in the Premier League table but they were shown firsthand how big the gulf is between themselves and the top six as Spurs ran out 4-0 winners in a one-sided encounter at White Hart Lane. Although Tottenham were very good, Tony Pulis will not have been happy with the way West Brom played. They gave the ball away far too easily, invited pressure on themselves and even their usual strengths such as defensive organisation and set piece prowess seemed to desert them.

Down on form, West Brom’s Chadli hoping to breakout vs. old club Spurs

Nacer Chadli has slowed down after his scintillating start but will look to haunt his old club Tottenham at the weekend.
West Brom head to White Hart Lane this weekend with the opportunity to earn a third consecutive Premier League victory, but it will undoubtedly be a tough task against Mauricio Pochettino’s equally in-form Tottenham side.

Tony Pulis’ team have a good recent record against Spurs as well, particularly away from home, with West Brom unbeaten in their last four games on Tottenham’s home patch, including a 1-1 draw at the end of the last season that played a part in the late collapse of Spurs’ title…
