Albion set a Premier League shooting record against Brentford.
All ten of their outfield players had at least two attempts at goal in the 3-3 draw.
Is the first time that has happened since such records began back in 2004.
They had 33 goal attempts (15 of them on target), the most by any team this season who did NOT win.
Throw in an assist by the goalkeeper and you get some idea of how Roberto De Zerbi’s men come at you from all angles.
Solly March was the most frequent shooter, going for goal eight times.
Five of them were on target. He forced a couple of simple saves from David Raya and also obliged him to get down sharply to his left to keep out an angled effort.
March's tally of shots possibly included an effort which appeared to be blocked by Danny Welbeck in the six-yard box
Alexis Mac Allister had five goes at goal, including his late penalty.
Three were on target, including a curler which forced Raya into a fine stop diving to his left late in the first half.
There were three attempts by both Welbeck (one on target, for his goal) and Joel Veltman (two on target).
Lewis Dunk, Levi Colwill, Pascal Gross, Kaoru Mitoma, Moises Caicedo and Pervis Estupinan each had two efforts.
The tally off 33 was completed by one shot each from subs Julio Enciso, who dragged a low effort just wide, and Deniz Undav whose close range effort led to the penalty.
Albion’s tally of shots was 13 more than they had in the 3-0 win over West Ham and 11 more than in the 5-0 victory over Grimsby.
