HOW on earth do Albion fans comprehend all of that? A 5-1 victory over Wolves. Really?

Or, as some wags on Twitter suggested, a 5-1 victory over Wo1ve5.

It should have been the most nervous of derbies against Wolves - who were on the back of a victory at QPR.

In the end there was seemingly nothing to worry about.

Twenty nine shots, 14 on target. Five goals. Would it be any exaggeration to suggest that Wolves goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was one of their best performers? Probably not.

Had Hennessey been off form, Albion could well have claimed a five goal lead by half-time.

Yes, they were that rampant.

This was the most emphatic, dynamic and clinical display of Albion’s modern era.

They’ve scored more goals and had better victories than the 5-1 recorded on SUnday - the first time they have scored five in the Premier League.

But there are caveats to that.

For starters Albion were playing a team from the same division. This wasn’t a cup game against lower league opposition. This wasn’t a non-league or lower-division side hosting a Premier League team in the third round of the FA Cup.

It was Albion’s best away win at this level for some three decades.

And, of course, there was the small matter of the opposition.
