Newly-promoted Albion collected their first-ever win at Arsenal’s new Emirates Stadium, even being generous enough to miss a penalty, just to give Arsene Wenger’s men a chance.
The Throstles stormed into a 3-0 lead courtesy of goals from Peter Odemwingie, Gonzalo Jara and Jerome Thomas before a late Arsenal fightback led to some nervy final moments. Albion eventually prevailed 3-2 in front of 60,025 fans.
