West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson was pleased with their point earned at Sunderland.

Hodgson was delighted at the way his side responded to having their early lead cancelled out.

He said: "It was too early, wasn't it? There were 90 minutes left to play when we were 2-0 up, so the game starts all over again.

"But I think we should give credit to Sunderland for really mounting a strong challenge and getting over the disappointment of a poor start both in terms of conceding goals and maybe giving the ball away far more than Steve would like in that early spell.

"At half-time, it was up to us to get our minds right again and not to think about the fact that we had been 2-0 up, but to make sure that we got ourselves organised enough to get a result in the second half, a result being either a draw or a victory.

"You have got to put it out of your mind because if you are not careful, you really waste your chance because you go from 2-0 up to 2-3 or 2-4."
