A rampant West Brom hit four past a below-par Sunderland.

Sunderland barely had chance to get into the game as Peter Odemwingie got in behind the Black Cats defence to head home Youssouf Mulumbu's searching ball in the third minute.

James Morrison then found himself unmarked as he guided Jerome Thomas' cross into the back of the net in a first-half that Sunderland just could not cope with.

Martin O'Neill opted for attacking changes at the restart with Nicklas Bendtner and Fraizer Campbell coming on but it was the defensive frailties at the back that hampered the visitors at The Hawthorns.

Odemwingie later added a third before Campbell thought he had pulled one back, however was wrongly called for offside as his strike cannoned off the bar and over the line. Keith Andrews then marked his first league start for Roy Hodgson's men with a superb curled effort into the top corner.
