Leandro Trossard wants Albion to build on their performance against Wolves.

Leandro Trossard has insisted Albion need to build on their second half performance against Wolves.

A free-flowing, attacking Albion remerged in the second half after going 3-1 down to last night’s visitors, and had the opportunities to snatch a winner in the 3-3 draw.

”Maybe a draw in the end is a fair result,” Trossard reflected. “We started really well and scored a goal, but after that we weren't as confident going forward and we should have just played our own game.

Potter's Wolves verdict

“They then showed their quality and got three goals, but in the second half we started great with the penalty. It gave us the boost we needed and character. At the end it's a good result.

“It's the strongest league in the world and the small margins decide games. We kept on pushing in the second half and if we can find that level consistently those results will come eventually and we need to build on it.”

The 26-year-old felt aggrieved that he was denied what would have proved a winning goal, after a tight decision went against Albion at 3-3.

Robert Sanchez's ball downfield was headed back by Rayan Ait-Nouri towards Rui Patricio, Trossard pounced and fired home the loose ball, only for play to be brought back for a foul on the Wolves defender.

“I don't think it was a foul. He touched me, I think he fell over his own legs,” added Trossard.
