West Brom midfielder Matt Phillips: Chelsea win proof anything can happen

West Brom midfielder Matt Phillips says victory over Chelsea must not be a one-off.

The Baggies shocked everyone on Saturday by securing a thumping 5-2 victory over Thomas Tuchel's side.

“We are a team who hasn't scored too many goals this season so to get five was (a surprise)," he said. “Scoring five goals at Stamford Bridge doesn't happen too often. But we had three weeks in between games and we worked hard. There was no slack or resting.

“Results hadn't been going for us but we have definitely stepped it up. We are playing better stuff. We are always in games.

“If we can be as clinical as we were at Chelsea in the remaining games then who knows?

“While there is still a chance we are going to try and win as many games as we can and see if we can stay up."
