West Brom 2-0 Everton
Everton had started the Premier League campaign on fire with a huge upset win over Manchester United followed by a 3-1 drubbing over Villa, it was widely expected that they'd make it 3 from 3. Like Everton West Brom had also secured an upset in their first game of the season defeating Liverpool 3-0 before getting a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, this was a clash of unbeatens.
Despite both of these teams being early pace setters in the Premier League neither team really started fast though West Brom really should have been ahead before going in at half time level 0-0. The major talking point of the first half however wasn't a chance but instead the early substitution of Darron Gibson who only lasted around 20 minutes before Tony Hibbert replaced him.
Everton had a great chance around 20 minutes into the second half as the ball fell for Marouane Fellaini who hit his chance over the goal. The Baggies soon made the visitors pay for missing the opportunity with Shane Long scoring just minutes later as the home side broke the deadlock. Around 17 minutes later West Brom doubled their lead and sealed the well deserved 3 points thanks to Gareth McAuley's header with less than 10 minutes left.
West Brom manager Steve Clarke will be smiling from ear to ear having had West Brom's best ever start to a Premier League season bagging 7 points in his opening 3 games as manager and already securing wins over both Merseyside clubs. Steve Clarke's team are not only unbeaten but are also scoring relatively easily with 6 goals for and only 1 against, this is a team who are really looking well organised even if they do lack an out and out goal scorer.
David Moyes will not be best pleased at his team's performance as they looked a shadow of the side who won their opening 2 games. Their attack looked much, much poorer than it had looked in previous games and whilst Kevin Mirallas did make an impact he couldn't create a goal. It's fair to assume however that this will just be a blip and Moyes will not be too concerned with the loss against a Baggies side that did much worse to Liverpool.
