Krul forced to save from Long as West Brom suddenly sense a way back into this contest.
51'
GOAL! Long scores for West Brom. A real mess in that visiting defence as Long nets after Williamson and Krul collided. Life in this game yet.
50'

Opta Joe "Papiss Cisse is the joint-quickest Newcastle player in PL history to reach five goals (six games, same as Les Ferdinand)".
49'
Newcastle so dangerous on the break today seconds after Long had forced a corner out of Santon.
48'

Almost a fourth for Newcastle on the break! Cisse played in by Cabaye, but the finish was not there as Foster makes the save. Still 3-0.
47'
Morrison drags a shot wide of the target from the edge of the visiting box. A snap shot, but no goal for West Brom.

West Brom get the second half off and running. Chris Brunt replaces Jerome Thomas with Shane Long taking over from Keith Andrews for the home side.
45+2'
There goes the whistle for the break! A 3-0 lead for Newcastle. All too easy for the visitors. A dominant showing.
44'
We are into two minutes of time added on....
43'
Williamson heads clear the cross by Fortune. Ba trying to scamper clear, but McAuley has enough pace to roll the ball back to Foster.
42'
West Brom were fortunate to depart Wigan with a 1-1 draw a week ago and it looks like they are going to continue their indifferent run of form today.
41'
Perch races out to head the ball away from Mulumbu's attempted pass through the middle. Newcasle continue to look the hungrier side.
40'
Krul bangs the ball long down the park. Once against Newcastle collect the ball with Ba and Cisse very much to the fore.

More frustration for Fortune who is ruled offside after he set off too early.
38'
The Baggies have lost none of the last six games in all competitions against the Magpies (W3 D3 L0). Defeat looming today surely.
37'
Guthrie and Ben Arfa keeping the ball well. Newcastle so comfortable in possession. West Brom chasing shadows at the moment.
36'
Coloccini looks like he has hamstring injury. Not sure the defender is going to make it to the break.
35'
Pardew continues to stalk the touchline with some real purpose. Must be purring over this display by his side.
34'
Jones tries to race to the byline only to overrun the ball. A goalkick to Newcastle.

Ben Arfa caught narrowly offside. Wouldn't bet on Newcastle not adding a few more goals to this haul.
32'
Those Geordie fans enjoying their day out in the sunshine. That goal surely kills this match as a contest.
