Di Matteo pleased with point

West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo was happy to have left east London with a share of the spoils following a 2-2 draw at West Ham. Peter Odemwingie had put the Baggies in front from the penalty spot after 28 minutes but West Ham fought back level before the break when Scott Parker smashed in a 25-yard effort. Indeed, Frederic Piquionne sent the Irons ahead from the spot at the start of the second half and then missed a great chance to make it 3-1 before Pablo Ibanez headed in an equaliser to earn the visitors a share of the spoils. Di Matteo said: "We controlled the game quite well, although we gave them an early Christmas present just before half-time which put them back into the game. "The second half almost turned in their favour but we managed to get a deserved equaliser and were a bit disappointed as we thought we could have got more out of the game, but we would take a point away from home."
