“West Brom's” return to the English Premier League is not going according to the ideal scenario - they suffered a second consecutive crushing defeat. Slaven Bilic's team lost 2-5 to Liverpool's “Everton” team in the second round of matches. "West Brom" started the match well and took the lead in the 10th minute, but by the end of the first half "Everton" responded with two goals - Dominicas Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez, who scored his debut goal. In addition, at the end of the first half, “West Brom” defender Kieran Gibbs was sent off for hitting J. Rodriguez in the face during a scuffle. As if that were not enough, after the halftime whistle, coach S. Bilic, who had attacked referee Mike Dean, was forced to watch the second half from the stands. The second half began with “West Brom” scoring quickly again, when Mathues Pereira scored an amazing penalty kick in the 47th minute. However, this did not frighten “Everton” - they soon regained the lead with goals from Michael Keane in the 62nd and 66th minutes, and D. Calvert-Lewin completed a hat-trick. “Everton” secured their second victory out of two possible.
