West Bromwich Albion’s 1-2 loss at home to Bournemouth on Saturday saw manager Tony Pulis record his 100th Premier League loss as a manager.
In the process, Pulis becomes only the 15th manager in the history of the competition to accrue so many losses.
This is a compliment to the manager who has taken charge of three relegation candidates, now in his eighth top flight season; Stoke City, Crysta Palace and West Brom.
