West Brom boss Di Matteo hails Brunt influence on season success

West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto di Matteo is delighted with the form of Chris Brunt this season.

The Hawthorns chief reserved high praise for Brunt, whose sixth assist of the campaign created the Baggies' equaliser in their draw with West Ham United.

And, including his header in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham, he has now played a part in half of Albion's Barclays Premier League goals this term.

"Brunty's superb," Di Matteo said.

"He gives us both quantity and quality.

"Since I arrived at West Brom, he has been outstanding for me.

"He's improved and gets better and better."
