ALBION midfielder Graham Dorrans claimed his first-ever goal in English football - courtesy of his backside.

The Baggies midfielder got a touch to Chris Brunt's secondhalf free kick to put Albion 2-1 up against Portsmouth.

And the Scotland under-21 international claimed the goal, drawing no complaints from Brunt.

Touch Manager Tony Mowbray was pleased with his young midfielder, who produced an excellent display in what was only his second Premier League start.

"Dorrans got a touch," said Mowbray. "The boys are saying it hit Dorrans on the backside - it must be a fairly large backside! "He's certainly claiming it. I no problems with that if he to claim it." Mowbray admitted that a touch naivety ruined Albion's hopes a victory but he refused to the R word - relegation.

" We had enough opportunities some great goalscoring opportunities," he added.

" It's not the result we wanted that's why I tried to make substitutions.

" At times we are naive and earlier this season this would have a good result.

" But we competed and worked The fans deserve a team is playing for them right to death, regardless of their destination come the end of the season." MATCHDAY - PAGES 2-3
