Assistant manager Keith Downing praises the West Bromwich Albion players for their concentration levels this afternoon.

West Bromwich Albion assistant manager Keith Downing has praised the players for the attitude that they showed against Bolton Wanderers earlier today.

Many had expected the Baggies to let their concentration slip during the remaining two games of the season following the decision of their manager Roy Hodgson to take charge of England.

However, they battled back from two goals down at the Reebok Stadium to claim a share of the spoils.

"Before the game the headlines were written with the fact Roy got the England job proving a distraction," Downing told BBC Sport. "But this was evidence of how concentrated the players were throughout the week and there's nothing better than coming back lie that in the last 15 minutes."

Next weekend West Brom take on Arsenal at the Hawthorns.
