A second half header from club record signing Salomon Rondon was enough to seal a 1-0 win at Norwich, with the Baggies having won by the same scoreline against Sunderland a week earlier.

Tony Pulis was delighted with his West Brom side after they captured a momentous away victory against Norwich City at Carrow Road.
But just a minute after the restart West Brom finally did break the deadlock as Rondon rose highest at the far post to power James McClean’s left-wing cross beyond Ruddy, who then brilliantly turned a curling Brunt effort wide.
“The result hasn’t gone the way I would have liked but we’ve just got to carry on. The quality of our play going forward was very good at times”.
Chances came and went for Norwich in the first half, with Nathan Redmond guilty of missing the best opening for the Canaries when he stabbed over from six yards.
“I was really pleased”.
And Pulis backed Klopp all the way after striker Salomon Rondon’s 46th-minute header, his second goal of the season, took the Baggies up to eighth in the table. “The back four and the goalkeeper are jumping up and down about another clean sheet but I was more pleased with the quality going forward”.
Alex Neil hopes video nasty can pep up his Norwich side Norwich manager Alex Neil hopes a DVD rerun of his side’s horror show at Newcastle will help them get back to winning ways against West Brom on Saturday.
Norwich’s 34-year-old Scottish manager, Alex Neil, is facing the first crisis of his nascent career, and he doesn’t seem to know how to shore up the leakiest defence in the Premier League.
“I wouldn’t say its worrying times, it’s not a nice time”, he told reporters.
Norwich have lost three league games in succession and face their own tricky run of fixtures between now and Christmas.

‘The goal settled us. That’s what I’ve done and I’m looking to reap the rewards from that now. To try to maintain that for a full half is hard but at this level when you have the ball in good areas it is about punishing teams, and we didn’t do that and there is always a danger they will threaten. At the moment, the sort of real crucial decisions in games, we’re ultimately not doing enough to put them in our favour.
