Di Matteo rues Baggies` wastefulness

26 December 2010 19:00
West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo was left to reflect on a fine away performance ruined by profligacy as his side crashed to a 2-0 defeat at Bolton. Matt Taylor's first goal of the season in the 40th minute and Johan Elmander's ninth four minutes from time earned the Trotters a fifth home victory of the campaign. Not the least of their achievements was a first clean sheet in the Premier League since the opening day of the season, but they largely had West Brom to thank for that as the visitors contrived to miss chance after chance. "We're coming away from here again and scratching our heads," Di Matteo said. "We had more clear chances and we lost. It's tough for us. You get punished in the Barclays Premier League. "You can't have five or six chances and not score one because it changes the momentum of the game if you score a goal."
