James McClean and West Brom's energy too much for Arsenal

After poor performances against Crystal Palace and Everton, West Brom moved forward from the 40-point mark with an outstanding display against Arsenal at The Hawthorns. Despite having only 23 percent possession, nobody could argue that Tony Pulis' team were much the better side, looking dangerous every time they counter-attacked and even more so from set pieces. West Brom were simply too powerful for an Arsenal side that didn't look up for the battle.

Positives

James McClean was outstanding on the wing for West Brom, matching his boundless energy and determination with direct, skillful running with the ball and dangerous delivery in the final third.
