West Brom boss Hodgson encouraged from Long, Tchoyi showing in Man Utd defeat

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with Shane Long and Somen Tchoyi in defeat to Manchester United.

Long led the line superbly for the Baggies and crowned his debut with a 37th-minute leveller.

It was the least the Republic of Ireland international deserved as he and Tchoyi proved a real handful for the Red Devils' defence.

"I thought Long and Tchoyi were very, very good together up front," Hodgson told the WBA website.

"They played very well and asked a lot of questions of the Manchester United defence."
