WEST BROMWICH, England -- Three thoughts from Arsenal's stunning 3-1 defeat at West Brom.
1. Arsenal fall to another defeat
Arsenal crashed to their fourth defeat in five Premier League matches on a drizzly afternoon at the Hawthorns. They were undone by two set-piece goals, both headers by West Brom right-back Craig Dawson, which sandwiched a scrappy effort by substitute Hal Robson-Kanu.
It was a flat, underwhelming performance by Arsene Wenger's side, with Mesut Ozil out injured and Alexis Sanchez only contributing sporadically from his left-wing position. The Chilean did fire in a fine equaliser but faded from view after a nasty tackle from James McClean in the first half.
