Two goals each from Ivorian Wilfried Zaha and Belgian Christian Benteke led Crystal Palace to a 5-1 win over hapless West Brom in an early Sunday kick-off.
Zaha forced a first half own goal on Furlong and went on to score twice - second and fourth goals - for Palace on his return after being kept away by coronavirus.
Conor Gallagher slotted home a leveller in the 30th minute before Pereira was sent off for foul play minutes after.
Crystal Palace took charge after the break scoring four easy goals and Benteke getting back his shooting boots.
Benteke scored twice, tapped home Palace's third goal and turned in the fifth to seal their five-star performance.
Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha: "Today was a massive win, I'm just happy to be back helping the team. We deserved the three points today."
"I am very happy for Christian Benteke, everyone has hard runs. He is a quality player so I am not surprised he scored." he added.
Crystal Palace are 11th with ten points more than 19th placed West Brom who only have managed 6 points so far.
