Di Matteo delighted as Baggies bounce back

West Brom manager Roberto Di Matteo hailed his players for bouncing back from their opening-day thrashing with victory over Sunderland yesterday.

Albion were humbled 6-0 at Chelsea on their return to the Barclays Premier League last week and were in need of a morale-boosting result at the Hawthorns. That was achieved thanks to a winning goal from debutant Peter Odemwingie nine minutes from time, and Di Matteo felt it was nothing less than his team deserved.
