The Frenchman delivered a perfectly-weighted pass to Bobby Zamora for Albion’s first goal, before supplying the cross for James Wilson to head home past Jed Steer in the second half.
*
He said, “It’s been a good start for me; I couldn’t have asked for better than that, so I’m very happy to be back in the Championship with a very good team.
*
“Huddersfield are a good team too and they played some good football, but every game is different and the most important thing is to take three points from every game.
*
“We scored two goals from the counter- attack, but if we score twice from a counter-attack and win in every game, then I’ll be happy.
*
“But it’s just one game and I need to keep going and work hard to do everything to help the team.”
