West Bromwich Albion cranked up the pressure on Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on Saturday, as a Craig Dawson brace condemned the Gunners to a 3-1 defeat in the Premier League.

The match started quickly, with Dawson’s 12th-minute header cancelled out by Alexis Sanchez’s close-range strike just three minutes later; the Gunners lost goalkeeper Petr Cech to injury before the break too.

In the 55th minute substitute Hal Robson-Kanu put the hosts back in front, before Dawson headed in his second from a corner in the 74th minute.

Having lost their last two matches there was an urgency about West Brom to begin the game, and they capped a flurry of early pressure with a typical Baggies goal.
