In their first game back in the Premier League, West Brom were given a ruthless lesson by Leicester City at the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon.
Slaven Bilic’s side were well in the game for a long period of time, heading into the break all square at 0-0. But Timothy Castagne’s opener for the visitors opened the door for the Foxes to grab a couple more late on.
Spot the fact from the fib: Are these Premier League records true or false?

And whilst the Baggies can certainly find some major positives from the contest, one man who didn’t look at all that impressive, was Romaine Sawyers.
As per Sofascore, the midfielder had just 26 touches and completed only 15 passes in the 68 minutes that he was on the pitch, whilst he failed to make any tackles and was dribbled past three times.
And after seeing his performance, West Brom fans took to Twitter to share their reactions.
A few Baggies supporters insisted that the midfielder just isn’t good enough for the Premier League.
A couple of fans simply insisted that Sawyers was “lazy”.
With it being the first game of the season, the obvious conclusion to make would be that people shouldn’t be rushing to judgment.
But Sawyers’ virtually anonymous display, and questionable work ethic as some fans have pointed out, must raise some serious concerns for Bilic when deciding what team to choose next.
The midfielder could be out of the starting line-up sooner rather than later.
