Hodgson delighted with West Brom improvements since appointment

After victory over Liverpool, Roy Hodgson admits he is delighted with his players as West Bromwich Albion moved up to 12th on the table.

Liverpool took the lead early in the second half through Martin Skrtel but Brunt's two spot-kicks earned West Brom their first Barclays Premier League triumph over the Merseysiders.

Hodgson said: "I am more than satisfied, I am really happy with the performance. I thought apart from the first 15 minutes, we took the game to Liverpool and played some really good football.

"When we went a goal down, it was very much against the run of play, but it was a great achievement for the players to put that behind them and score two goals.

"Those two goals were a result of quite a lot of pressure we were able to exert on the Liverpool defence.

"We've come back a couple of times against Stoke, Wolves and now.

"I don't doubt the commitment of the players and their ability to come back from being a goal down.

"We do have a considerable goal threat in the team and it was nice to see the team pass the ball so well against a quality team like Liverpool."
