West Bromwich Albion flipped the prices on their head

The final score was West Bromwich Albion 3-0 Southampton. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Matheus Pereira put the first mark on the match 32', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: West Bromwich Albion led Shots on target 6-4. Southampton also shaded Corners 5-10.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Southampton the favourite at 47.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
