Another Eriksen free kick caused panic in the Baggies defence and Michael Dawson turned into his own net, which ensured the hosts went into the break in front.

Erik Lamela hit the post just before the hour mark but it was the visitors who scored the second goal of the game when Dawson made amends for his own goal with a powerful header.
