Hero Soudani a Riy-al steal

KEEPER Sam Johnstone says he has no regrets at leaving Manchester United for West Brom.

Johnstone saved a penalty from Jordan Rhodes, which proved vital in a seven-goal bonanza.

“It was a crazy game, it was end to end,” said Johnstone.

“The quality of this team is unbelievable for the Championship, we just need to get used to the division.”

Although he conceded three goals, Johnstone is happy to be playing for boss Darren Moore.

“I’ve been ready to leave for a couple of years,” said Johnstone, 25, who was on loan at Aston Villa last season before making a £6.5m switch to the Baggies last month.

“Luckily I’ve still been able to go out and play football, I’m used to going out, away from Man United, and settling in new clubs.

“I was lucky enough to grow up at Man United and train with the best players in the world but you have the best goalkeeper in the world there as well.

“I wanted to play football, I’m 25, I didn’t want to sit around and train every day. This has been a great team to settle in with.”

Johnstone went the right way to smother Rhodes’ tame penalty. Rhodes got the Canaries off the mark with a close-range finish before Jay Rodriguez showed him how a penalty should be taken.

Tim Krul conceded the spot-kick with a foul on Dwight Gayle, then made a hash of a 30-yard swipe by Rodriguez as the Baggies went two up.

More sloppy defending kept West Brom in front with goals from Harvey Barnes and substitute Hal Robson-Kanu.

Norwich twice hit back through Teemu Pukki and skipper Grant Hanley, who refused to blame Krul for the defeat.

“It happens,” he said. “Through the season Tim will pull us out of the doo-dah more than he lets one in.

“I don’t need to tell Tim, he’ll be disappointed with himself.”
