18'
Brunt with a cross into the middle of the Spurs area. Vydra connects, but can't test Lloris in the visiting goal. Not really sure what Chiriches is doing at the heart of the visiting defence.
17'
Sherwood suddenly having a chuckle to himself on the visiting technical area. What a farcical start to this match. Astonishing.

FOSTER SAVES THE PENALTY! He dives to his left. Easy save from Adebayor's dreadful effort. That was like a passback. Awful stuff.

PENALTY TO SPURS! Rose is taken out late in the home box by Amalfitano. Looks a bit of a dive, but the referee has bought it.
14'
Pepe Mel has yet to win a home game as West Brom manager, but Spurs have turned up here in a charitable mood.
13'
West Brom have gone 2-0 up in a Premer League match inside the opening 11 minutes four times this season – also the 3-3 draw v Cardiff on March 29; the 4-3 defeat at Aston Villa on Jan 29 & the 2-2 home draw v Aston Villa on Nov 25
12'
Safe to say that there are more goals in this match with neither side particularly convincing in how they are going about their business out there.

Rose drives the cross into the middle, but Kane somehow knocks the ball past the home goal from three yards out. Awful miss. Spurs should be back in this game.
10'
Vydra taken down in the visiting box, but doesn't appeal. Was probably a fair challenge. Certainly plenty of incident so far.
9'
Tottenham go 2-0 down after just four minutes – the quickest this has happened ever in the Premier League, beating the seven minutes it took for Newcastle to go 2-0 up against Tottenham in their 3-1 home win in Dec 2006.

Kane drives a shot wide of the home goal. Inches wide. Would have been one back for the visiting side because Foster didn't move as that effort flew wide.

Kaboul with a clear foul on the grounded Amalfitano. He should have been sent off for that challenge, and West Brom should have been awarded a penalty. Spurs so fortunate.
6'
Tim Sherwood looking slightly perplexed. He can't be too pleased about what has gone on so far this afternoon. And we are only six minutes into the match.
5'
Matej Vydra scores West Brom’s fastest-ever Premier League goal (27 seconds) – beating Morgan Amalfitano’s effort after 1min & 44 seconds in their 3-3 Premier League home draw v Cardiff on March 29.

GOAL! Chris Brunt slams a volley into the net. And suddenly Spurs are two down. They failed to deal with the Reid cross into the middle this time. Awful defending.
3'
First attack of the day and the Baggies lead. Spurs all over the show at the back. Sessegnon complains that he is brought down by Paulinho, but referee Neil Swarbrick said no penalty.

GOAL! Vydra slams a loose ball into the net after Lloris could only palm out the Amalfitano cross. Would you believe this? A 1-0 lead for the home side.

West Brom get the action off and running then in this contest.

A minute's silence for the Hillsborough tragedy...

Glorious day for football. Pitch looks in decent nick. Certainly a feeling of spring in the air out there. Huge day for the home side as they bid to take a step closer to remaining in the Premier League next season.
