West Brom boss Hodgson pleased with Odemwingie contribution in QPR draw

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson was pleased with Peter Odemwingie's contribution in their 1-1 draw with QPR.

The Nigeria international, who has been out for a month with a knee injury, came off the bench for the second successive week to outpace Luke Young and cross for Shane Long to score.

"Peter did well," Hodgson said. "I thought he started slowly, it has been a long while since he played, but he got stronger and stronger.

"He did very well for the goal.

"It was a nice piece of football, a good cross and I think at that stage of the game we were threatening to score a goal and eventually we got it."
