Morrison proud to prove West Brom matchwinner at Spurs

West Bromwich Albion midfielder James Morrison was delighted to prove the matchwinner at Tottenham yesterday.

The Scotland international headed home Chris Brunt's 74th-minute corner to send the visitors home with their first three points of the season - and first win at White Hart Lane since 1984.

"The last time I scored was away at Anfield last season," Morrison told the WBA website.

"I was a goalscoring midfielder previously, but now I have more of a defensive role.

"I was delighted to get back on the scoresheet because it's such a great feeling. I have scored a couple of headers before.

"I was in the box to block a man but I managed to break away from my marker and found myself free. I just saw the ball coming and I rose like a salmon and managed to finish it of."
