West Brom’s Nigerian striker Peter Odemwingie expressed his delight after scoring twice in Saturday’s 4-0 win against Sunderland on Monday helping the Baggies for their first win at The Hawthorns in three months when they defeated Bolton 2-1 last November.  

"The most important thing for me is that we finally got a win at home for our fans," Odemwingie told the club's official website.

"It was very important to start well and get all the fans behind us right from the kick-off. I was very glad I could score an early goal and give confidence to the rest of the team."

"We didn't over-celebrate our last victory and were very serious because it was the right time to turn things around at The Hawthorns and get three points. Hopefully we can win more games at home now," he added

The 30-year-old striker who scored a Hat Trick in the 5-1 West Brom’s last week victory against Wolves, believes that he could beat his last season record of 15 goals in the Premier League.

"People have asked me if I can beat my record or get double figures. I said yes, if I have a good run, maybe it is possible. I'm happy it's coming," he concluded.

Odemwingie is the Baggies top scorer with his nine goals in the Premier League.
