Premier League: Andy Carroll scores twice as West Ham beat West Brom 3-1
Saturday 30 March 2013 19:35, UK
Two goals from Andy Carroll helped West Ham take a step towards Premier League safety with a 3-1 win over West Brom.
Speaking after the game, Allardyce was full of praise for Carroll and was pleased the striker was able to demonstrate the full range of his ability. Allardyce said: "He's not just strong in the air, as people perceive is his only strength, it's the quality on the floor, the hold-up play and then the technique on the volley, as we saw, was outstanding. It was a world-class finish, nobody can take that away from him, it was outstanding." But Allardyce's counterpart Steve Clarke was left to lament a performance which he felt was unlike his West Brom team. Clarke said: "In the first half, West Ham were better than us at the ugly side, winning the second balls and keeping the pressure on us. "They did that well, and we didn't do it well enough. The goals we conceded are not like us, they were three disappointing goals to lose."
