Tony Mowbray felt his West Bromwich Albion side had been hard done by after being beaten so late in the game against Norwich City in a 1-0 defeat.
The Baggies are now only five points ahead of the Canaries in fifth place, and the Albion head coach insisted that his side didn’t deserve to lose at Carrow Road.
They started the game well, but were largely kept at arm’s length by a determined home side.
West Brom had gone into the game without a win in their previous four games.
Cruel
“I wouldn’t say we deserved to win, but I don’t think we deserved to lose it either,” said Mowbray.
“To be honest, I would have been a bit disappointed with 0-0.
“Norwich were a bit more pragmatic than they normally are, but I thought we generally dominated possession and controlled the game, but you have to score a goal.”
West Brom created a few chances early on, with Angus Gunn making an excellent save to keep out Torbjorn Heggem’s close-range header.
“We had our chances and didn’t take them,” added Mowbray.
“It was a bit cruel to us in the end, with a sloppy ball in midfield, a pass through and a good finish.
“But if you don’t take your chances, that sort of thing can always happen.
“Having said that, if our performance levels stay like today between now and the end of the season, then we will get results.”
