London: West Bromwich has produced a brilliant second-half performance to shock Arsenal 3-2 in the Premier League at the Emirates stadium.
Nigerian forward Peter Odemwingie, Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara and former Arsenal man Jerome Thomas scored after the break for the visitors — who could even afford to miss a penalty on Saturday.
Arsenal launched a stirring late comeback from 3-0 down, Samir Nasri's double strike reducing the deficit and setting up a thrilling finish. But West Bromwich held on to inflict Arsenal's first defeat of the season.
The home side's 'keeper, Manuel Almunia, had conceded the first-half penalty by bringing down Odemwingie, but made amends by saving Chris Brunt's spot-kick.
Almunia, though, was at fault for West Bromwich's second strike, as he failed to handle Jara's straightforward shot.
