A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have taken to Twitter to laud Okay Yokuslu’s latest masterclass for the Baggies as they swept Chelsea aside in Saturday’s early Premier League kickoff.

Sam Allardyce’s charges ran out 5-2 winners over a hapless Blues side to gain three important points in their pursuit of top-flight survival.

West Brom fell behind on 27 minutes when Christian Pulisic tapped home after Marcos Alonso’s free kick hit the post.

However, Thiago Silva’s sending off two minutes later helped turn the game on its head, Matheus Pereira going on to score twice in first-half added time.

Callum Robinson and Mbaye Diagne struck in quick succession on 63 and 68 minutes respectively to help the Baggies into a 4-1 lead.

Although Mason Mount reduced the deficit in the 71st minute, substitute Robinson clipped in a superb late fifth to cap off an amazing day for West Brom.

While Pereira and Robinson stood out thanks to their respective braces, most of the Baggies players impressed on the day, with Yokuslu fast becoming a contender for signing of the season.

The Turkey international expertly broke up play, helped shore up the Albion back line, kept his side moving and was an outlet for any teammates in need.

Yokuslu also made more tackles (6) and won more duels (12) than any other player against Chelsea, as well as the joint-highest number of interceptions (3).

Needless to say, West Brom fans were delighted with the Celta Vigo on-loan star’s performance and praised him on social media:
