West Bromwich Albion have taken maximum points from their first two matches.

Gary Neville has told his self-titled podcast, which was broadcasted by Sky Sports, that West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis deserves more respect.

West Brom may have done limited business this summer, but they have still started the campaign in fine form.

The Baggies have taken maximum points from their first two matches, against Bournemouth and Burnley.

And Neville claims that Pulis deserves great credit for the job he has done at the Hawthorns.

He said: “West Brom, fantastic win for them. You’ve got to admire the work that Tony Pulis does.

“He’s unfashionable in some ways in the way he’s portrayed, but he should be respected hugely – and he is respected hugely within the professional side of the game – for the work that he does. Not the big budgets, but to continually organise and coach a team to get the best results.”

West Brom’s latest victory came against Burnley, and it was a typical Baggies performance.

Pulis’ men didn’t have much possession, but they put up a stubborn resistance and took their chance.

Hal Robson-Kanu scored the goal which proved to be the winner for Albion, to give them the perfect start to the campaign.

West Brom’s pair of 1-0 wins to start their season has helped eased concerns that they did not do enough business over the summer,

The Baggies’ next Premier League action comes against Stoke City at the weekend, where they will be looking to keep their 100% record.
