Roy Hodgson feels West Brom deserved more

Roy Hodgson, the new West Bromwich Albion manager, felt his side deserved more than the last-gasp equaliser by Carlos Vela in the 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at The Hawthorns.

Vela cancelled out Jamie O'Hara's first-half effort in the dying seconds after Wayne Hennessey, the Wolves goalkeeper, failed to hold onto James Morrison's low drive.

The share of the spoils moved West Brom a point clear of the Premier League drop zone, but Wolves remained bottom on goal difference.

"I was certainly happy to see the equaliser but if you mean am I happy because I didn't think we deserved any better, then I'm not," said Hodgson.

"I thought the performance throughout was good.

"I thought we laid siege for long periods on the Wolves goal, but we know they defend well. They are not an easy team to break down.

"But I've got to say, if ever a team worked hard for the equaliser, asked questions, forced good saves and blocks, it was us.

"In the end when you equalise late in a game you do have that feeling of happiness and satisfaction."
