Big Sam gets results. But this probably wasn’t quite what the new West Bromwich Albion manager had in mind when his side entertained Leeds United in the Premier League on Tuesday evening. It was an unwanted reality check for the Baggies after their impressive 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Sunday.

Romaine Sawyers scored one of the most disastrous own goals of the season during West Brom’s clash with Leeds United in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old came under pressure from Rodrigo in the ninth minute at the Hawthorns, prompting him to whack a back pass beyond goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and into his own net.
It was the first own goal of a professional career spanning 362 games and West Brom’s third of the season.
You can feel the pain in the goal update from the official Twitter account:
Sam Allardyce replaced Slaven Bilic in the Baggies hot seat to shore up a defence that leaked the most goals in the Premier League. This probably isn’t the revolution he had in mind.
