We’re in a relegation battle, Hodgson admits

WEST BROM boss Roy Hodgson has no doubt his side are in a relegation battle — and that their results at home must improve if they are to emerge from it unscathed.

Albion were beaten 2-1 by Norwich at The Hawthorns on Saturday, which cut the gap between themselves in 15th and the Premier League drop zone to five points.

It was West Brom’s third straight loss in the league and seventh in the 11 top-flight fixtures at their own ground this term, during which they have scored just eight goals.
