West Brom 0-2 Crystal Palace
Palace are out of the bottom three.
Two great goals.
Is Allardyce about to lead 'the great escape' again?
West Brom 0-2 Crystal Palace
We have about two minutes remaining.

What a goal Andros! What a goal!*
Andros Townsend picks up the ball from the edge of his own area on the left and runs.
He runs some more.
And runs some more.
He then produces a couple of lollipops to baffle Gareth McAuley inside the area, before firing low past Ben Foster.
Brilliant.
*The shot took a slight deflection off Jonny Evans.

Baggies midfielder Darren Fletcher is off and forward Jonathan Leko - aged 17 aka the second year of A Levels - comes on.
West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace
It's a good thing the Baggies medical staff aren't doing F1 tyre changes.
Jonny Evans is leaking blood from his bandage and it appears to take a while for the home bench to realise. Eventually, the defender is seen too.
Moments later, Jake Livermore accidentally pushes ref Mike Jones to the ground.
The home crowd cheer. It was quite funny, I guess.

Yohan Cabaye, who provided that great assist for Zaha's goal, is replaced by defender Scott Dann.
West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace
Allan Nyom is replaced by Hal Robson-Kanu.
It's the 20th time the forward has come off the bench - the most used sub in the league this season.
What an honour!
West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace
Hal Robson-Kanu is about to come on the Baggies. It needs some of his Euro 2016 magic to give the home side a boost.
You can barely hear the West Brom fans.

Read my goal description from earlier and imagine the photos below are moving.
Works doesn't it?
No?
Fine, be like that.

James McClean is on for Nacer Chadli.
McClean has been on the bench for 16 matches and come on in 14 of them. He's covered a lot of bench.
West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace
Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt is on the deck. Injured.
He is consequently taken off on a stretcher.
Jeff Schlupp comes on.
West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace
Wilfried Zaha nearly grabs his second. He's on fire - not literally.
The Ivorian dances into the area - he only has Ben Foster to beat, but falls under pressure from the keeper and the tracking Gareth McAuley.
West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace
That wasn't coming.
Only the second effort on target in the entire match sees Wilfried Zaha score.
The Ivorian controls a brilliant long diagonal from Yohan Cabaye. He chests down the ball on the left of the area and fires a low, angled shot past Ben Foster.
An exceptional goal.
Wilfried Zaha
West Brom 0-0 Crystal Palace
...Chadli is on the end of a corner from the left but fires his first-time shot over the bar from 14 yards.
There was no unjust end for Palace to that passage of play.
West Brom 0-0 Crystal Palace
The Baggies win a corner but the ball appears to come off Nacer Chadli.
Hmmm...
West Brom 0-0 Crystal Palace
Palace are out of the traps like Mick the Miller, but Andros Townsend's ball from the right is aimless.
West Brom 0-0 Crystal Palace
We are back under way.
West Brom 0-0 Crystal Palace
This has got to get better as a spectacle.
