Salomon Rondon scored West Brom’s second as they beat West Ham 4-2.
West Brom fans were finally treated to some entertainment at the Hawthorns, as their side beat West Ham 4-2.
Pressure had started to mount on Tony Pulis, whose negative style was starting to infuriate the West Brom faithful. The Baggies took the lead early on through a Nacer Chadli penalty, and they doubled their advantage in the 37th minute through Salomon Rondon.

Pulis’ side were in dreamland when club record signing Chadli made it 4-0 in the 56th minute, which was calmly created by Rondon, but there was a comeback brewing from West Ham.
Michail Antonio continued his impressive start to the season by making it 4-1 in the 61st minute, and it became 4-2 four minutes later when Manuel Lanzini scored from the spot.
