Saido Berahino gave the Baggies the lead as he curled a shot into the top corner from the edge of the area before Fabregas was dismissed in bizarre fashion.
The midfielder kicked the ball against Chris Brunt's head as referee Mike Jones dealt with an altercation between Diego Costa and Gareth McAuley, with Jones wasting no time in giving Fabregas his marching orders.
Berahino doubled the hosts' lead less than two minutes into the second half as he converted from the penalty spot after he was brought down by John Terry.
Loic Remy hit the post as the Premier League champions looked for a route back into the game, but Tony Pulis' side secured the three points when Brunt's powerful drive beat Thibaut Courtois at his near post.
