West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson has played down the altercation between Baggies duo Ben Foster and Peter Odemwingie during the club's 2-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday.

The two players clashed late in the game after Foster had confronted Odemwingie over a lack of effort, but Hodgson has played down the clash.

"That's frustration a little bit. To be fair Peter needs to question himself there because he wasn't doing the job he was told to do," Hodgson told reporters.

"Of course in his defence he worked very hard in the game and it's an emotional game, we're staring at a defeat that late in the game and sometimes people react to those situations so it's a storm in a teacup. It hasn't had any repercussions in the dressing room at all so that's the most important thing."

West Brom sit 14th in the Premier League table.
