West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie has hailed the team’s spirited performance against Chelsea in last weekend’s 2-1 victory over the European champions.
The Nigerian believes that the victory over Chelsea is the best of what has been West Brom’s greatest and most memorable start to a Premier League campaign so far.
West Brom have now managed victories against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 this season, all at home. The Baggies have enjoyed dominant form at the Hawthorns, with their only home defeat in the league coming against Manchester City.
The win over Chelsea has boosted the club up to fourth spot on the league table with 23 points from 12 games. At the moment, West Brom are in prime position for a Champions League spot, but manager Steve Clarke has urged his team to stay grounded and warned
them not get ahead of themselves.
Shan Long had given the home side a lead in the opening 10 minutes, and West Brom looked the better side of the two throughout the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Odemwingie-c29794 headed
the home side towards victory.
Chelsea continued to press for the equalizer, but West Brom were rock solid at the back and kept the European champions at bay. This marks a significant and popular victory for the club, the fans and especially manager Steve Clarke.
Long and Odemwingie had been the difference between the sides up front, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Yacob-c9331 had been the dominant force in midfield for the hosts. Odemwingie was delighted by the win and said:
“"It was the best three points. It maybe wasn't our best game but it was the best three points of the season because a good test came in the latter stages where we needed to take away all the doubts about our great start.”
"We needed to show people against a big club that we have started well and we want to continue that way. It definitely gives us great belief. Our results have already given us confidence and the belief is growing but we need to keep putting things in there
to keep us confident.”
