Erik Pieters makes honest claim about West Brom's win over Wigan in message shared with supporters | OneFootball

The Verdict

Whereas West Brom were unable to replicate the performance that they produced to defeat automatic promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough last month in yesterday's game, they still managed to secure a vital victory.

Albion are now only four points adrift of the play-off places and will be looking to close this gap by picking up positive results in their upcoming clashes with Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City.

Pieters will be confident in his ability to deliver the goods against these two sides as he has produced a host of assured displays for West Brom since joining the club last year.

In the 25 league games he has featured in this season, the defender has won 2.1 aerial duels per match, completed 83.2% of the passes that he has attempted and has made 1.4 interceptions and 3.1 clearances per fixture (as per WhoScored).
