BIG-MATCH ANALYST

In just four games, Darren Moore (W2 D2 L0) has won more Premier League games for West Brom than Alan Pardew (W1 D5 L12), and as many as Tony Pulis (W2 D4 L6) did for the Baggies this season.

West Brom kept their first league clean sheet at St James’ Park since September 1977, ending a run of 15 straight games in which they’d conceded at the ground.

Newcastle have lost back-to-back league games for the first time since a run of four in December.

This was Rafael Benitez’s first Premier League defeat against West Brom as manager (W7 D1 L1), meaning Stoke are now the side he’s faced the most without defeat in the competition (7 games).

Matt Phillips’ goal was his first in 22 games in all competitions for West Brom, since netting against Manchester City in October.

There were 15 shots in total in the second half in this game (10 for Newcastle, 5 West Brom), but none were on target.
