West Brom boss Hodgson says no hangover from Foster, Odemwingie blow-up

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson says there's been no hangover from Ben Foster's bust-up with Peter Odemwingie during defeat to Everton.

On-loan Birmingham player Foster appeared to be upset that Odemwingie had not been tight to his marker as Albion defended a short corner.

Hodgson said: "It was a storm in a teacup. It is one of those things that can happen in a match.

"It is not something you are proud of, something you don't relish having to deal with.

"We knew about the short corner routine, wanted Peter to mark the player who was looking to receive the short corner.

"He didn't do it and didn't like the fact he was told about it (by Foster).

"But it started quickly and, if there was a fire, it was put out very quickly. In fact, the mood in training this week has been exceptionally good."
