Well that was satisfying.  Thought Fat Sam was going to have a heart attack when the red was shown.  Could have been 8.  Well played.  El Ghazi and Traore deserve loads of credit.  w00t!!

The scoreline was kind on the Albion.  We do lack a killer instinct though, as mad as that sounds after a 0-3 drubbing. 

Stripeys to be relegated.

We are a goal each game away from being top 4.

Did they have a shot? Genuine question.

Complete dominance.
1 apparently.

I thought we were struggling to break the packed defence down for around an hour but a brilliant finish by Traore for the second.

"Three fuckin' nil to us"

Fuck that fat crook, first pre match prediction I've got correct for ages.

Fuck them. Fuck that tiny main stand and fuck every other thing about them.

Delighted for Traore. He played so well and deserved that goal.

Well, El Ghazi and Traore both played really well, which I suppose shows we shouldn't be too quick to judge off the back of one disappointing performance.  Traore in particular tonight I thought looked great.  Really disappointed for Ollie, he deserved that goal and another stolen from him over an inch.

Overally, really competent performance, the sort you'd expect for a top-half side against relegation strugglers.  People will point to the one-man advantage, but we were much the better side 11 v 11, and if they hadn't parked the bus when down to 10 I think we've have scored more than the 1 we already had. 

Very happy!

Given VAR seems desperate for Watkins to never score again, it's great that that isn't stopping us scoring.

(Burnley aberration aside)

Given the nature of the types of goal Ollie likes to score he’ll be getting a complex soon. In another era he would have scored a ton of goals. I’m sure if we play back a lot of Lineker’s goals we’d be chalking a load of them off. I truly hate VAR
