Leeds embarrassed West Brom in a 5-0 flogging at The Hawthorns this morning and the rout began with a jaw-dropping own goal.<\/p>\n
West Brom, who sit in second-last on the English Premier League<\/a> table with just one win to show, began to crash when Romain Sawyers scored an own goal in the ninth minute.<\/p>\n The midfielder sent a 20-metre pass back to goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, but it missed the target and rolled into Leeds' goal.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague\/status\/1344008264816730113?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/a><\/p>\n "Oh, what has happened there!" one Optus Sport commentator said.<\/p>\n "The back-pass has gone all the way in and Leeds United have been given a gift. Sawyers has put it past his own goalkeeper and it's an awful start for (West Brom manager) Sam Allardyce at home and West Bromwich Albion."<\/p>\n Leeds extended their lead when Ezgjan Alioski nailed a goal off the post, before Jack Harrison bagged the third after a classy one-two with Patrick Bamford.<\/p>\n Rodrigo then snared Leeds' fourth goal late in the opening half when he fired a brilliant shot from outside the box, and Raphinha pocketed a similar goal of his own in the 72nd minute.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
