West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke has admitted that his side made things difficult for themselves before seeing out victory over Sunderland.
The Baggies were 2-0 and cruising at The Hawthorns courtesy of two goals from Romelu Lukaku, but Stephane Sessegnon's 79th-minute strike kept things interesting until the final whistle.
Despite coming under pressure, Clarke said that he was pleased to record back-to-back wins following the 2-0 triumph at Anfield.
"I was a little bit nervous," he told BBC Sport. "We have to learn to manage the game a little better and see it out better than that.
"It didn't have to become a game of basketball, which it did in the last 15 minutes.
"It's nice to get back-to-back wins and give the supporters a nice Saturday evening."
West Brom are now seventh in the Premier League.
