Norwich head coach Philippe Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk:
“We deserved to win it. In the first half we were totally dominant, and scored one good goal, but it should have been two or three. In the second half we were also dominating but when a few players got a little bit tired West Brom came into the game.
“They scored a goal from a transition, not that they were outplaying us or creating chances, and then it’s important to stay calm and continue doing what we’ve been doing. That’s the big step the team has made – a few months ago they would have become nervous, and so would the stands, but nobody felt we would lose this game, not on the pitch and not in the stands.
“We could kick on by bringing on fresh players who have played a lot in the last couple of months and have rhythm.”
On Paris Maghoma: “I told him and Ali [Ahmed] at half time that I don’t want a circus, I want an efficient team that kills off games. I am really pleased to see him score with the head.”
West Brom head coach Eric Ramsay told BBC Radio WM:
“I’m really disappointed to lose the game, particularly given how the second half went, and how we felt that we grew into the game and played with some real authority for a large portion of that second half.
“I felt strongly before the game that, irrespective of the outcome, we had to come out feeling positive across a number of other elements and there were strong performances from the young players Ollie [Bostock], Harry [Whitwell] and from Hindo [Mustapha] and we had to feel that we were nudging players towards 90 minutes fit.
“The guys that haven’t been able to hit 90 minutes all that regularly so far this season. The fact we’ve done that across the board is pleasing.
“We weren’t happy with the first-half performance. There wasn’t the level of aggression and competitiveness that we would have expected and we lacked control on the ball. That was entirely different in the second half.”
