West Brom goalkeeper Boaz Myhill was delighted to be back in action for Monday's draw at Leicester City.

The stand-in keeper started his first Premier League game since April 2016 on Monday night because of a worrying knee injury to Albion No.1 Ben Foster.

He said: “It's an absolute joy to play Premier League football and having been out of it for 18 months I was never going to come off.

“They would have had to have dragged me off. Before the game the gaffer told me, as he always does, to enjoy it and that's exactly the right attitude. It's brilliant to play Premier League football."

Whenever Foster does return, Myhill wants it to be as difficult as possible for him to get his place back.

“Now I want to keep Ben out of the team," he added to the Express & Star. “We've got a great relationship and he will understand that.

“We all know what a great keeper he is but it's my job to stop him playing and that's what I'll try to do.

“I'm not sure what my injury is yet but I want to be there again on Saturday (playing Southampton)."
