West Brom boss Hodgson delighted with matchwinner Odemwingie

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with matchwinner Peter Odemwingie after victory over Blackburn Rovers.

Odemwingie looked more like the man who finished as last season's 15-goal top scorer by capping an impressive Ewood Park display with a sensational 89th-minute strike - his third of the campaign.

"Peter had a good game and now he's fit he will kick on," said Hodgson to the WBA website.

"Peter's season has been blighted by injury and he's not really been able to get that run of games.

"But, more importantly than the run of games, he's had a run of training sessions.

"Peter getting out there every time we've been training has been the case for the last three weeks."
