He followed it up with another solid display in the next Premier League match, where he kept a clean sheet and even registered an assist.

Speaking in the latest Albion club podcast, stated: “You have to accept they are going to be there.

“In a 15-year career, you are going to make a mistake.

“When you do make it, what really helps me is to see it for what it is.

“After you have made mistakes, there is a big chance to show your personality.

“It is a natural thing to hide because you don’t want to hurt your team twice.

“But for me it is a big opportunity to show your character and show to your team whatever happens, I am fine.

“If you don’t have the courage to look in the mirror when you made a mistake, you didn’t learn from it so it is two mistakes for me.”
