How we rated Albion's players as they beat Everton 1-0.
DAVID BUTTON 8
Will not forget his top flight debut in a hurry. One scare spilling a cross but made some good saves. The best was exceptional to divert Richarlison's shot against the far post.
MARTIN MONTOYA 8
Spaniard is growing with a run of games, showing what he can do going forward as well as defending. Making it tough for Bruno to get a look-in.
SHANE DUFFY 8
Towering presence against his first club inside his own penalty area. Just the one blip when Richarlison caught him in possession.
LEWIS DUNK (above) 8
Fitting way to celebrate 250th appearance for the club on return from suspension. Composed and dominant.
BERNARDO 8
Deceptively strong in the air, athletic, bundles of pace, energy and determination. Did well against Walcott.
PASCAL GROSS 7
It felt like he was quiet at the time - but his pinpoint delivery led to the goal and Pickford's two testing saves from Andone.
DALE STEPHENS 7
Caused a few alarms with an errant back pass but did a sound job at the base of the midfield three.
DAVY PROPPER 8
Is relishing the current midfield set-up. Brilliant skills to set up an Andone chance and again got well forward on occasions.
SOLLY MARCH 7
Seemed to relish the competitive nature of the afternoon. A source of danger down the right, where he appears to have struck up a rapport with Montoya.
FLORIN ANDONE (above) 7
His pace troubled the Everton back three and he was denied a headed goal by a fine reflex save from Pickford. Needed to get the shot off slightly quicker when put through by Propper.
JURGEN LOCADIA 8
Suddenly he can do very little wrong. Showed a predatory goal-poacher’s instinct for the winner and linked up well from his role on the left.
SUBS
Glenn Murray: Helped see the job through as Albion spent a decent amount of time in Everton territory in the final stages.
