West Brom boss Tony Mowbray hailed the performance of matchwinner Jonas Olsson after their victory at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Olsson - an £800,000 bargain buy from Dutch club NEC Nijmegen on the last day of the transfer window - poked home the 53rd minute winner and produced a towering performance in the centre of defence.

Mowbray said: "I'm not sure how many of his passes set us on our way today but he brings that to us. If he puts his body on the line for the team like he did today and fights his corner, we'll have a good player.

"He's still got to develop his upper body strength and his heading. He's come from Dutch football where it's all about pass, pass, pass. That's why I brought him here. He's better than some of our midfielders with his decision-making."
