West Brom boss Sam Allardyce admits he's delighted after their 5-2 win at Chelsea.

Callum Robinson and Matheus Pereira struck twice for the visitors on Saturday.

Allaryce later beamed: "We won't be on last today will we!

"I am delighted. Not only with the win but the style, it has been coming for a while but our lack of finishing has cost us. What we saw today is what we have been missing. The quality of our goals and our football brought us a fantastic result. We were desperate for it.

"They went down to 10 men, deservedly so. Thiago Silva could have gone for his first foul. But on many occasions I have got a result with 10 men but we took Chelsea apart.

"We started really well, we pressed and didn't sit back. I had three weeks to think about this game and sort the tactics. We said let's go, let's go challenge them and it worked extremely well.

"For me, I would have liked to see Matheus Pereira get his hat-trick but that's being greedy I suppose. We need a few injured players to recover."
