West Brom earned three points in an exciting clash against Southampton which saw three players sent off.
.
The Baggies took an early lead when Marc-Antoine Fortune bundled the ball over the line at the third attempt.
.
Romelu Lukaku rounded Saints keeper Artur Boruc to double West Brom's lead before Southampton sub Gaston Ramirez and Albion's Fortune were dismissed.
.
Shane Long completed the win with a low strike before Saints' Danny Fox saw red for a two-footed lunge on Steven Reid.
.
The outcome of this fixture may have little significance on the Premier League table, with West Brom comfortable in mid-table and Southampton all but safe from relegation, but that did not stop it from being an exciting affair at St Mary's.
.
Referee Roberto Madley, taking charge of his first game in the Premier League, will also certainly remember it.
.
Before the three red cards though, there was plenty of other action.
.
West Brom created their first real chance when on- loan Chelsea striker Lukaku found himself clean through only to be denied by Boruc's fine save.
.
The opener was not long in coming, however, as Graham Dorrans' sixth-minute corner eventually fell to the feet of Fortune after Lukaku nodded the ball down.
