West Brom boss Steve Clarke admits that he is "shell shocked" following his side's dramatic 3-2 defeat at Reading in the Premier League on Saturday.

West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has admitted that he is "shell-shocked" by his side's dramatic 3-2 defeat at Reading in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Baggies held a comfortable 2-0 lead going into the final 10 minutes at the Madejski Stadium, but the home side scored three quick goals to turn the game on its head.

"We went from complete control of the game to somehow losing a game we should have won comfortably," Clarke told BBC Sport.

"I'm a little bit shell shocked. For 81 minutes we had so much control of the game, we created chances, hit the crossbar and post, and scored two good goals.

"We were so far in front you could not see the end to the game coming. But football can sometimes be a strange game."

Despite the defeat, West Brom remain in seventh place in the table.
