CARLOS  Corberan admitted West a Brom "suffered" as they held on to beat Swansea City at The Hawthorns after a dramatic comeback by the visitors threatened to deny them.

Albion looked to be cruising to their first three points of the season after Semi Ajayi, a Carl Rushworth own goal and a John Swift penalty put them 3-0 up by the 64th minute.

But late goals by Harry Darling and Nathan Wood after Jerry Yates hit the bar gave the Baggies a mighty scare before they escaped further punishment.

“We won a game by suffering without managing it the way we needed to do,” said head coach Corberan.

“The best thing of course was the result and the worst thing was that we suffered more than we had to suffer during one part of the game.

“Two things happened. Firstly they started to play 4-3-1-2 and had quality players in the middle of the pitch, then they switched to 5-3-2.
