Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.
Full Time Full Time: West Brom 1-3 Arsenal - So no further goals in the second half but, in truth, the damage was down after an explosive first-half showing from the Gunners. After such a frustrating few weeks in the Premier League, these three points, and of course three goals, will be the perfect tonic for the now 14-unbeaten Arsenal.
90
There's hardly anyone left inside the stadium in the three home stands. Not a happy evening for the Baggies.
90
Three minutes added time to be played at the end of this second half.
90
This is proper 'Ole' football from Arsenal - they're knocking it around with real ease and the Gooners in the Hawthorns are loving it.
89
Once again Bendtner goes close to his hat-trick. Denilson's cross is headed only as far as the Dane on the edge of the area but he volleys a yard or two over in the end.
86
Almunia claims easily.
86
Zuiverloon forces a West Brom corner...
85
Almunia firmly punches Teixeria's left-hand cross away from danger.
83
Substitution Wenger decides to give Fran Merida a run out on the eve of his 19th birthday. It is the Spaniard's first appearance outside the Carling Cup and he replaces Nasri on the left.
81
Yellow Card Donk is cautioned for a very clumsy tackle on Diaby, no arguments from the Dutchman.
80
Although Arsenal look firmly in control, the game is delicately poised. If the Baggies can snatch a goal here, it will be a very nervous final 10 minutes for the Gunners.
79
Sagna marauds forward on the right-hand side but lashes his strike well over Carson's crossbar.
76
The Spaniard is OK to continue though.
76
Almunia is caught by Moore and has stayed down here.
76
In fact, replays show that Almunia tipped that shot round the post. Outstanding save from the Spaniard.
75
Massive let-off for Arsenal. Zuiverloon finds Fortune who had times his run perfectly. However, with Moore lurking in the middle, the on-loan Nancy striker goes it alone and drags his shot inches wide.
74
Dan thinks the pace of this game has plummeted in the last 10 minutes or so.
72
Substitution And James Morrison is replaced by on-loan Argentinian Juan Carlos Menseguez for his second West Brom appearance.
72
Substitution In fact it looks like it will be a double change for the Baggies. First, Teixeria comes on for goalscorer Brunt...
70
Felipe Teixeria, broken toe and all, looks to be warming up on the touchline.
69
The Spaniard is once again called into action from Koren's 25-yard strike. Good low save from Almunia.
68
Fortune threatens to latch onto Moore's through-ball but Almunia races out to avert the danger.
67
Substitution Here is that change. The young midfielder replaces Eboue on the right-hand side; a like-for-like change so it seems.
66
Yellow Card Meite is cautioned for a rash challenge on Diaby.
66
Denilson has a go from range but shot drifts well wide.
66
Aaron Ramsey is limbering up on the touchline. The Welshman's arrival is not far away.
62
Eboue forces a good stop from Carson with a fearsome strike from the edge of the D. Chris thinks that Arsenal look capable of scoring whenever they attack.
60
Djourou turns Zuiverloon's low cross away from danger.
57
Oooh! Bendtner is a post width's away from his hat-trick there after a great run and shot. The Dane is in inspired form tonight, Harris thinks he is brimming with confidence.
56
Our commentary team don't think the Baggies will stay up with this kind of defending.
56
Arshavin's corner is cleared at the front post by Greening.
55
Diaby next to go close but his fierce drive is deflected over. Arsenal corner...
55
Perhaps i should make more predictions.
54
And again the Russian goes close! Again set up by Bendtner, Arshavin jinks through the Albion backline before clipping an effort goalwards. Another smart save from Carson.
52
Well... there he really should have. Bendtner feeds the Russian just inside the area but Carson saves brilliantly on the move.
52
Now I'm not usually one for predictions but I think Arshavin is going to notch his first Arsenal goal tonight.
51
It has been a quiet start to this second period and neither side have created much so far. That will suit Arsenal it must be said.
48
Harris thinks that West Brom's footballing philosophy is admirable yet naive.
47
If we hear any news on that change we'll let you know. It must be an enforced swap by the manager because the Ivorian was superb in the first half.
46
Substitution Wenger makes one change at the break with goalscorer and captain Kolo Toure makes way for Abou Diaby. The oncoming Frenchman steps into the centre of midfield with Song dropping into defence alongside Djourou
Kick Off The Baggies get this second half underway.
Half Time Half Time: West Brom 1-3 Arsenal: Compared to recent weeks, this first half has been a veritable goal fest for the Gunners. Bendtner (2) and Toure, took advantage of West Brom's expansive gameplan and sloppy marking to put Arsene Wenger's men firmly in the driving seat.
44
GOAL! - Nicklas Bendtner 1 : 3 Goal!! West Brom 1-3 Arsenal: Toure turns provider this time for Bendtner who races away from Meite before slashing his strike past Carson from just inside the area. This is more like it from the Gunners.
43
Yellow Card Brunt joins Koren in the Steve Tanner's book for a rash challenge on Nasri.
43
Sagna's low cross almost finds Bendtner in the centre but Zuiverloon clears well.
40
Nasri almost makes it even better for the Gunners but Carson mops up bravely at the Frenchman's feet.
38
GOAL! - Kolo Toure 1 : 2 Goal!! West Brom 1-2 Arsenal: There it is! Toure takes advantage of some wretched West Brom marking to thunder his header past Carson from eight yards. It is the captain's first goal of the campaign.
38
Arsenal have a free-kick in a promising position on the right-hand side. Arshavin to swing this in...
36
Brunt's deep corner is nodded back across goal by Fortune but Moore's header is well over from four yards.
36
Djourou, under pressure from Fortune, puts the ball behind for a West Brom corner...
35
Yellow Card Koren hacks down Bendtner on the halfway line and picks up the game's first yellow card.
31
Remember that we are covering the Under-18s' FA Youth Cup Quarter Final against Tottenham on Thursday LIVE on Arsenal TV Online.
30
A point about Arsenal's formation. We expected Arshavin to play in the hole, just behind Bendtner. But Chris thinks that the Russian has played more like an orthodox striker in a 442 so far.
29
Morrison gets the better of Clichy down the Baggies' right but his cross-shot flies well over the angle of Almunia's right-hand post.
28
Yep, the Frenchman is back on and is moving fine.
27
Nasri has hobbled off the pitch with an ankle injury. It looks as though he'll be able to continue.
26
Arshavin darts goalwards and tries his luck from just outside the area but he loses balance at the key moment and the shot arrows well wide.
23
Song and Arshavin get in eachothers way 10 yards from goal and Koren is able to nip in and clear.
22
Chris thinks the Baggies are a 'pretty' team to watch but they're not always effective with it.
21
We've had a little drop in tempo after the explosive start to proceedings. There's certainly a hatful of chances left in this one though.
18
Apologies for the temporary problems with the commentary. But our boys are back in business now.
17
Eboue almost capitalises on a sloppy punch from Carson but the Ivorian's volley is high and wide.
14
True to form, West Brom hit back with a chance of their own. Luke Moore bustles into the area before forcing Almunia into a smart save low at his front post.
13
What a chance for Arsenal! After a strong run from Eboue, the Ivorian scuffs his shot straight into the path of Bendtner. However, the Dane, leans back and blasts his strike a yard over the crossbar from 15 yards. A real opportunity.
10
Chris admits the game is looking very open for both sides. Very entertaining for the neutral so far.
6
GOAL! - Chris Brunt 1 : 1 Goal!! West Brom 1-1 Arsenal: After four consecutive goalless draws in the Premier League we've had two goals in the first six minutes here. Chris Brunt's low free-kick from 25 yards beats Almunia all ends up.
4
GOAL! - Nicklas Bendtner 0 : 1 Goal!! West Brom 0-1 Arsenal: Wenger's decision is vindicated within four minutes! The corner was not properly cleared by the Baggies and Bendtner, three or four yards inside the area, lashes a left-foot shot across Scott Carson and into the bottom corner. The drought is over.
4
It doesn't beat the first man, away by Greening.
4
Nasri wins the first corner of the game. The Frenchman will take it...
3
Chris has already noticed that the Baggies are allowing Arsenal quite a bit of space in the midfield.
2
Arsenal have started very brightly and they are knocking the ball around with some confidence in these early stages.

Kick Off Arsenal, dressed in their red and white home strip, get us underway.
And here they are. It's a chilly evening in the Black Country but the atmosphere is red-hot it must be said.
It was glorious sunshine that greeted the teams back on the opening day of the season but it is an altogether gloomier affair at the Hawthorns tonight. The teams' arrival is imminent.
West Brom Team News: Of course, due to Premier League rules, Jay Simpson is unable to face his parent club this evening. Because of that, the Baggies' other on-loan striker Marc-Antoine Fortune partners Luke Moore upfront. In midfield, Albion's playmaker Jonathan Greening starts for the first time in six matches.
Arsenal Team News: Arsene Wenger makes four changes to the side held by Fulham on Saturday afternoon, the most notable coming in the frontline. The Gunners' topscorer Robin van Persie drops to the bench in place of Nicklas Bendtner. In midfield, Emmanuel Eboue and Alex Song come in for Carlos Vela and Abou Diaby. William Gallas' ankle injury means that Johan Djourou partners Kolo Toure in defence.
Welcome one and all to tonight's minute-by-minute coverage of Arsenal's Premier League clash against West Brom. Of course the two sides met in the season's curtain-raiser at Emirates Stadium in August but there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Good evening. Tonight's Match Day Show will start at 19:20, bringing you the video highlights and post-match reaction from Arsenal v Fulham, the inside news from West Brom and the key moments from Arsene Wenger's exclusive pre-match interview with Arsenal.com
