West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with their front pair in victory at Newcastle United.

Peter Odemwingie and Shane Long impressed Hodgson on Tyneside.

Hodgson said: "The front two were magnificent. They were very good at Blackburn and they were very good tonight.

"I was asked a question, can they form a good partnership, these two? I think they can.

"It's early doors for them because Odemwingie had the best part of the early part of the season spoiled through injury, and it's only recently that he has been back fully-fit and can play."
