West Brom 3 - 1 Arsenal

Arsenal were heavily punished for defensive failings at set pieces as West Brom inflicted a damaging defeat.

Craig Dawson thumped home headers from corners either side of the break, while Hal Robson-Kanu capitalised on a goalkeeping error in between those goals.

Alexis had equalised just two minutes after the hosts had taken the lead in the opening half, but that was as good as it got for us on a forgettable afternoon.

Petr Cech was taken off due to injury late in the first half - shortly after saving well from Darren Fletcher - to compound our misery.

It means we face an uphill challenge to break back into the Champions League places.
