Game report taken from ESPN.com
Everton substitute Victor Anichebe scored his first Premier League goal of the season to earn his side a 1-0 victory against West Brom at the Hawthorns.
Anichebe struck with three minutes remaining after Albion had failed to clear a cross from Tony Hibbert.
It earned the Toffees their fourth away win of the campaign and allowed them to leapfrog Albion in the table.
The Baggies have won only two of their home league games this season and their tally of seven goals in front of their home fans remains the joint worst record in the top four divisions.
Both sides had struggled to carve out clear-cut openings before Anichebe struck with Toffees keeper Tim Howard not having a shot to save in the entire 90 minutes.
Albion were the first to settle and winger Jerome Thomas got on the end of a low ball into the danger area from Billy Jones but lost his footing.
It was 18 minutes before the first reasonable opportunity when Shane Long headed just over after getting on the receiving end of a deep centre from West Brom skipper Chris Brunt.
Then John Heitinga produced a fine tackle inside the Everton area to halt the run of James Morrison.
