Callum Robinson has reacted to West Brom on social media as the club marked three years since the memorable 5-2 win over Chelsea away from home.

The game started badly as Christian Pulisic opened the scoring after 27 minutes. Just two minutes later Thiago Silva was sent off which changed the game in the Baggies' favour.

A Matheus Pereira brace then gave the away side a shock half-time lead at Stamford Bridge. This was added to by Callum Robinson and Mbaye Diagne early in the second half to put Albion 4-1 up.

Despite a Mason Mount goal, Robinson grabbed his second goal of the day late on to complete an iconic display.

On the third anniversary of the day, West Brom took to X to say: "A five-star showing at Stamford Bridge, three years ago today."

This then saw a former player and goalscorer on the day, Robinson, react and share his feelings on the result.

On that, he simply said: "Good times that. What a day."

Is this the best West Brom Premier League win?

It has to be said that in recent times, especially in the Premier League, West Brom haven't scored five in a game very often. It has been more likely to be conceding five.

To smash the soon-to-be Champions League winners on their own patch is one of the most memorable Baggies Premier League moments.

With that being said, there are still at least two games which will live long in the memory for being truly iconic.

Firstly, another day where Albion scored five was Peter Odemwingie's day as he scored a hat trick on Wolves soil. This was added two by Jonas Olsson and Keith Andrews to confirm a 5-1 derby day thrashing.

Despite this being the best performance in the derby, this still isn't the best win that West Brom have completed in the Premier League.

Arguably one of the most iconic stories in Premier League history, the Great Escape, was completed in 2005 at The Hawthorns.

Thanks to goals from Geoff Horsfield and Kieran Richardson, relegation was avoided despite being bottom at Christmas. Iconic for different reasons than the others but arguably the most memorable.
