A great result - Appleton

23 September 2010 09:00
West Brom assistant boss Michael Appleton understandably declared himself delighted with their 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Carling Cup. After taking a half-time lead through Jo, City were undone by two goals in as many second-half minutes from Gianni Zuiverloon and Simon Cox. City ended the contest with £100million worth of talent on the pitch, but it was not enough as Boaz Myhill turned away James Milner's last chance at a rescue mission. Appleton said: "It was a great result. Really positive. We made numerous changes and the lads responded well. "We were second guessing their side bearing in mind they have Chelsea on Saturday but there was still a lot of experience in the side. They brought the cavalry on at the end and we were under the cosh for the last 15 minutes but we did enough to win."
