Ellington orchestrates Baggies win

WEST BROM striker Nathan Ellington came off the bench to score his eighth goal of the season and earn Albion a 1-0 victory over Cardiff.

Ellington, who has not started a game for West Brom in more than three months, broke the deadlock with a spectacular second-half strike to give the Championship promotion chasers a ninth win in their last 10 home games.

The hosts had been on the offensive early on as Robert Koren tested Neil Alexander with a left-foot shot the City goalkeeper tipped wide.
