While it is obviously disappointing to lose a three goal lead, the Baggies earned a point more than was expected in this match.
In previous Premier League campaigns, Albion have never conceded as many goals in their opening three matches, but only once have they scored more.
And while Luke Dowling et al are in search of a striker to lead the line, Callum Robinson has scored two goals in three league games – no Albion striker has had a better start in the Premier League.
