WEST BROMWICH ALBION manager Darren Moore heaped praise on his opposite number Nathan Jones despite inflicting a third successive defeat on Stoke City.

In a game of few clear-cut chances Dwight Gayle scored the only goal of the game on 25 minutes when Stefan Johansen, on loan at Albion from Fulham, picked out an unmarked Ahmed Hegazi at the back post with a free-kick from 40 yards.

The Egyptian crossed the ball into the six-yard box for Gayle to head home his 16th league goal of the season.
