West Brom boss Sam Allardyce praised two-goal Matheus Pereira after their 3-2 derby victory over Wolves.

West Brom had 12 shots in an unexpectedly open Black Country derby.

Allardyce underlined his priorities when discussing his skilful Brazilian Pereira, who converted two high-pressure penalties at Molineux having missed in the FA Cup shootout defeat at Blackpool.

"He was excellent, not only his ability but his work-rate," assessed Allardyce.

"I liked him working for the team."
