West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto di Matteo says they deserved their shock win at Arsenal yesterday.

Three second-half goals from Peter Odemwingie, Gonzalo Jara and former Arsenal player Jerome Thomas put Albion in dreamland before Samir Nasri scored two late consolation goals for the home side.

It left Arsenal four points adrift of Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea while West Brom moved into fifth place.

"I would say we deserved it, the way we played, the way we created chances, scored goals and played very well," said Di Matteo.

"We pressed them very high, we pressed them all over the pitch. We managed not to let them play their usual way. And when we had the ball we passed it very well and created chances ourselves.

"I don't want us just to be pretty, I want results at the end of the day.

"We got a hammering at Chelsea and it wasn't a pretty week after that, but we've learned. We've cut out those mistakes and that gives us a chance to stay in a game and win things.

"We go into games believing we can win. It was the way we won, we were not lucky. We played some tremendous football and defended well too.

"I knew at 3-0 in front the game wasn't over because with the players Arsenal have on the pitch they will create chances."
