West Brom midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu was delighted with the ‘great style’ of their win over Liverpool at Anfield on Monday.

The 2-0 win completed a league double for West Brom over Brendan Rodgers’ men, and ended a barren run of no wins in six games for Steve Clarke’s team.

Mulumbu feels the win was the result of a great team performance, and has helped arrest a worrying slide after West Brom’s stunning pre-Christmas form saw them into fourth position after the first 12 games.

“Before the game we were in a bad position so it was really important for us to finish this game to end a bad run,” he told the club’s website.

“We did it in great style.

“It was a good performance from all the team and the result was great for us because now we can focus and prepare for Sunderland at home, which is a great opportunity for us to keep climbing up this league.”

The 26-year-old insists he has recovered from a knee injury he sustained prior to linking up with his Democratic Republic of Congo team-mates for the Africa Cup of Nations.

“It was great to be back on the pitch and my knee is totally fine now,” Mulumbu said.

“I am glad to be back and winning again because that shows me I am important for the team, and I hope it will keep going for this team.

“I hope I am the lucky mascot and we will keep playing like this every week.”
