West Brom boss Mowbray happy with super-sub Teixeira

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is happy with the impact Filipe Teixeira is making off the bench.

"It's a big ask for Teixeira to be out for so long, come back and expect to make a huge impact in the Premier League," Mowbray told the WBA website.

"Yet, he has done well in his cameo roles. In just five minutes at Everton he must have had three shots and played a lovely pass to put Morrison through and nearly score.

"Fil is a very talented player and I'm sure he's got a part to play. He brings a bit of versatility because he can play wide on either side and can play off a striker.

"He has that close, tight control that can unsettle individuals and allow him to get past them."
