Two headers by Craig Dawson and a Hal Robson-Kanu strike lifted West Bromwich Albion to a 3-1 win over Arsenal and piled more misery on their manager Arsene Wenger after a pulsating Premier League clash on Saturday.

The result left Arsenal in fifth place with 50 points from 27 matches, five behind fourth-placed Liverpool who are at home to Manchester City on Sunday. West Brom stayed eighth on 43 points from 29 games.

Still reeling from a 10-2 aggregate defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16 earlier this month, the under-fire Wenger could only watch in dismay as a banner saying 'NO CONTRACT #WENGEROUT' was flown by a plane above the Hawthorns.

37 mins: From delight to misery for Petr Cech. Moments after making that splendid save, the Arsenal goalkeeper has succumbed to injury. Playing away a backpass, Cech appears to have tweaked his hamstring and won't be able to play any further part. Alongside his physiotherapist, he hobbles away to the touchline and on will come David Ospina. Time for Albion to pump some balls into the box.

42 mins: The first booking of the match is shown to James McClean after the the Irishman had dived in on Alexis Sanchez in the middle of the park. Neil Swarbrick originally allowed play to continue with the Chilean writhing on the turf, but when the move broke down, he went back to card the West Brom midfielder.

As for Sanchez, he's looking a little fragile after a short spell of treatment. However, he is back on.

SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: The action is back underway at the Hawthorns where the game is finely balanced at one apiece.

49 mins: Arsenal are enjoying the possession, but West Brom appear assured in dealing with their pressure - perhaps too assured. Gareth McAuley, certainly, looks overly relaxed in cushioning a dangerous cross behind with Theo Walcott lurking, but the message at the back is clear from the Northern Irishman: be cool.

54 mins: Seconds after almost restoring West Bromwich Albion's lead, Salomon Rondon is hauled off. The striker had just passed up the opportunity to glance in a header, and his punishment is the ignominy of being replaced by Hal Robson-Kanu.

56 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 2 ARSENAL 1:

On the pitch for just over a minute, Hal Robson-Kanu has forced West Bromwich Albion back in front. James McClean toyed with Hector Bellerin on the left before attempting to exchange passes with Nacer Chadli. The Belgian's return from a central position was chipped into the box, and as McClean attempted to beat the onrushing David Ospina to the ball, it squirmed free to the substitute who toepoked home. McClean's momentum had taken him into an offside position, but the Irishman showed great awareness to leapfrog Robson-Kanu's shot, and once Neil Swarbrick had consulted his linesman, the goal was given.

63 mins: There's been no immediate response from falling behind this time for Arsenal, and so Arsene Wenger eyes a change. Theo Walcott's time is up and it's over to Oliver Giroud.
