Di Matteo pleased as Baggies close in on promotion

West Brom 3 Leicester 0

The Italian maintained the level-headed attitude he has kept through Albion’s promotion charge but, with a smile, admitted an eighth successive win at The Hawthorns went a long way to securing a top-two finish.

First-half goals from James Morrison and Robert Koren sent the Black Country club on their way to all three points before the Slovenia captain wrapped up victory with his second late on.
