West Brom boss Irvine: Foster saved us from Chelsea humiliation

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine hailed the performance of Ben Foster in defeat at Chelsea.

Diego Costa and Eden Hazard sealed the points early on. But Foster pulled off outstanding saves from both men, as well as John Terry and Oscar to keep his side from being humiliated at Stamford Bridge.

Irvine said afterwards: "He didn't show any of that frustration in the dressing room.

"He was very complimentary towards the lads who were in front of him.

"He was terrific. It was the most he'd had to do this season by a long way and I think that was down to their quality."
