WHAT HAPPENED
Three fine goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Nicolas Pepe and Willian ensured we returned to winning ways in the Premier League as we beat West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
After the disappointment of our European exit on Thursday night, Mikel Arteta’s side were expected to deliver a response here – and they did just that.
But it took some time to get going, and in fact it was the visitors who twice went closest in the early stages through the dangerous Matheus Pereira.
Gradually we began to assert our dominance, and when we upped the tempo the Baggies struggled to live with us – especially down our left flank, where Bukayo Saka took centre stage.
