Glenn Murray’s goal earned Albion a draw following Nathan Baker’s opener, and the Spaniard admits that an international break can make it hard to regain a winning habit.

He said, “We knew it was really important game for us, and after the international break it’s sometimes difficult to start again.
*
“We knew it would be difficult because Aston Villa are a big club with very good players. They have a lot of quality upfront and we didn’t have our best game.
*
“They were crossing a lot of balls into the box during the game and we had to stay focused.
*
“They’ve got good players and a manager that knows this league very well. It was very tough.”
